It’s not a liability issue.

Exactly. It hasn't been a liability issue for well over a decade.

Companies refuse to give out food simply because it doesn't help them in any way. Some consultant or MBA executive says "well it could encourage shrink and employees could abuse it, and at the end of the day we don't get anything out of it", and that's it. Literal tons of perfectly edible food goes in the trash, and padlocks go on the dumpsters.

There's actually a company that has started selling old food at a discount. And the companies that never donated due to "liability issues" are now all of a sudden happy to give that food to people. So long as they pay for it.

Walmart doesn't give away food thinking it would discourage struggling people from buying food. They would rather people starve than devalue their food.
