They're called “graze boxes”—takeaway containers filled with meats, cheeses, crackers, and fruits—and they're all over Facebook Marketplace, selling from as little as $10 to as much as $100.
The Facebook Marketplace snack box trend is now so big in Britain that it has irritated Mumsnet and Reddit users alike. “In the past month iv [sic] had at least 8 people try talk me into buying a cheese board off them, I don’t even like cheese,”in October. Her post inspired many responses, ranging from the horrified—“those grazing boards look horrendous”—to the bemused: “Who is buying these?? It’s just a bunch of stuff you can get cheaper at [supermarkets].
Graze boxes are arguably less risky than curries and roast chickens sold by nonprofessionals, also reported on by the BBC, but they are not risk-free. Peter Wareing is a Kent-based independent food safety expert with over 30 years of experience. When asked about graze boxes, he says shelf-stable foods such as crackers and pickles aren’t too concerning, except when considering potential allergens.
“I understand why people [sold them] through lockdown, I’m not giving anyone a hard time for that, it was a difficult time for so many people,” Robertson says. But, Robertson adds, that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for people to ignore regulations or rip people off. “I think I can personally tell straight away if they’ve literally just gone to a supermarket and bought all the stuff. I think it’s a real kick to any customer when people go and do that,” she says.
