    This really should be the first go-to.

    Old goods? Assign liability to the food bank and let them handle sorting.

    Tossing perfectly edible food in the trash because it’s no longer pretty and (acknowledging) I won’t buy it, it is just insane.

    I try to buy bruised food when I can because I know others won’t. a wrinkly bell pepper, cucumber, or zucchini will be exactly the same once I chop it up and put it in my meal.

      In the US, both the business and the food bank are already shielded from liability. It’s been that way for 30 years.

      I absolutely agree. I wasn’t trying to defend the company’s practice. Just explaining why they make those kind of decisions.
