Aren't the Health Depts another reason. They probably aren't allowed to give the food away.

I believe we had a thread on this and this was debunked.

It’s more about being stocked with what consumers perceive as “fresh food” both cosmetically and intrinsically.
And,also, the fact supermarkets aim to be fully stocked with all items at all times and it leads to waste.

It's all about the consumer.

There are currently organizations working to claim the food for food pantries or sell it for cheap.

It's cheaper to throw the food away than to get sued for 100 million because someone got sick from free food.

Also, it's bad for business giving away shyt you need people to buy to stay in business
can't give shyt away cuz people just waiting to sue over eating something bad. greed on all sides = food goes to waste
I had a bakery on my old street that used to just dump loafs outside the door in a big clear bag and you would be surprised how people attacked that shyt and they were not homeless. they looked like ravenous dogs tearing the bags apart and grabbing loafs bare hand more than one a time. some people are more about opportunity than shame.
