Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

    Second harvest is a charity that specializes in exactly this.

    They pick up food from grocery stores and distribute it.

    There are chapters of second harvest across north america

        I am not a lawyer, yadda yadda, but best before dates are only the manufacturer saying “this will taste like advertised up until this date”. It’s still perfectly fine to eat, usually for a good while. So I think you’d be fine if you just sufficiently made people aware that the best by date has passed, and that they should use common sense before consuming.

        It’s probably a different story for things with an actual expiration date
