Just hope that there is a liability limit imposed too.
In the late 1980's KFC's in Minneapolis would donate end of night food to soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Some chicken got improperly held after it was given, and someone ate and got sick from it, and successfully sued KFC for $1.4 million. Corp stopped donations RIGHT now. A friend that worked at a franchise, said they had to sign a paper saying they couldn't sue, then the staff could take home end of day food.
That's what can mess up 'second harvest'. We work with the local food pantry and there is a lot of scratchNdent (dropped a pallet) or semi rolled over in an accident cargo reclamation, or stuff at date and still perfectly good, that comes through there. It is amazing what can come through, and they do call it "America's Second Harvest". At least someone gets to eat it then. Trust me some of the stuff is from major food retailers, and can be pretty expensive...
