Having worked in the bakery section of a grocery store, we had to throw away all of our out-dated products. The day before, they would be marked down to 50%, but the day they went out, they had to be thrown away. I asked about donating them, but was told that if they donated out-dated food and someone got sick on it, they could then sue the store.
