Thats the part that sucks so bad. So much expired food has to be thrown away and they cant give it out because of lawsuits. I think they even have to lock up the dumpsters. I understand it, but shyt sucks
Yup. That's EXACTLY why they do it. And again, that doesn't even count the amount of shyt they actually do donate.
Being in the logistics industry and finding out why they do what they do is saddening. They write it all off anyway, so they'd rather give it away, but you have to account for the goofies and crackpot lawyers looking to get over all the time. It's pathetic. So it's easier for them to dump than completely give it away. And yeah having to lock the compactor/dumpster because of dumpster divers is sad.
Had this one lead at my job who dumpster dived product and was caught selling that shyt at the flea market on the weekends only 10 minutes away.
If anyone bought that shyt and got sick, guess what happens and who gets sued?
