Of the estimated 133 billion pounds of food that goes uneaten in the United States every year, much of it is perfectly safe and nutritious and could have been donated to hunger relief organizations to feed hungry people. Sadly, large amounts of this perfectly good food ends up in landfills. The presentations from this webinar discuss liability concerns and clear up misconceptions that may keep companies and organizations from donating food. The webinar covers food safety issues and tips and the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act, the federal statute that gives liability protection to those who donate food. The webinar includes presentations by
- Syd Mandelbaum, Rock and Wrap It Up! CEO and Founder
- Nicole Civita, University of Arkansas School of Law Visiting Assistant Professor
- Claire Cummings, Bon Appétit Management Company Waste Specialist
- Wayne Melichar, Feeding America Manager of Food Safety
- Sara Gassman, Food Recovery Network Director of Member Support and Communications
