What we need are changes to health and safety laws. It’s VERY hard to donate food at times. All it takes is one asshole suing a store, or company or a person to spook off any food donations. If you don’t follow all the rules on traceability, regulatory checks on dates and transport it in a certain way, you open yourself up to a lawsuit. It’s legal suicide to most companies. Please look up legislation on food health and safety and talk to your local MP (or whatever the American version is).
I work in my mother in laws church food program and know how hard it is for places to actually donate food.
