You have to realize, if they are given free food or it is STOLEN from the garbage. They can sue for food poisoning/malicious intent or what have you.
Reason why most shelters only take in food that can be made into soup, since it can be cooked at a high enought temp and long enough to reduce food bourne pathogens to a safe level.
We legit take it and make soup of the day to maintain the recepients health and preserve our financial security (lawsuits)
Erm, so if you pay for your food and catch food poisoning you can't sue? If the food is given away and someone catches food poisoning from it they can sue?
Maybe over in freedom land that's the case. Anyway, just saying if the reason is actually to prevent from being sued in case someone catches food poisoning from left over food at closing times, then that's still a shitty reason to waste perfectly good food as opposed to giving it away to the needy.
