I'm not sure how many big resellers there are these days as the market has changed somewhat, one of the bigger ones I knew now just retails it themselves.
Try getting in touch with Costco, Brookers, Hancocks etc at local level, they will have a list of buyers for their short code and returns stock.
Some stuff occasionally turns up on Ebay too.

Hi thanks for the replies, I now of approved food it wasn't that company, it was basically a bloke with a warehouse and sold all kinds of stuff by the pallet was bit random but really good, ive tried contacting various wholesalers but nothing good came out of it, I have purchased a few pallets off ebay in the past too, but its not that often, I just didn't now if there was just a company that just deals with selling it by the pallet load.
Thanks

There'll probably be an odd few scattered around the country still, I doubt any would be online. It would be unlikely anyone would give you that information if they had them as a supplier.
Not sure where else you could get that information, I used to have a bit to do with a few of those businesses but it's years ago so I'm well out of touch now.
Chances are a friendly worker at a bigger cash & carry would know/tell you, you'll usually find one or two big gossips, try asking for empty boxes or something like that that would put you in touch with one.

Check out commercial auctions that sell end of line stuff. Often see stuff from CostCo turn up here. Not just out of date & short date soft drinks, but chocolate, crisps and loads of similar items.

The auction house will probably be buying it in and selling it on. Some numpties will pay more for out of date boxes of chocolates than you can get them for in date in Asda.
