Have worked in grocery stores, it just gets thrown out. The level of food waste in the United States is legitimately stomach churning.

And not even just thrown out: it’s usually intentionally damaged so it can’t be eaten

Arizona it's literally considered illegal to dumpster dive anywhere inside of a curb and yet they still also pour bleach on the tossed food at grocery stores to "dissuade" people.

So you can be arrested if you survive being poisoned.

In France it is illegal to throw food out. It has to go to the homeless or those stores will get fined.

You do know most people don't live in the US, right?

The commenter they were responding to literally mentioned the FDA. The US Federal Drug and Safety Administration.

You can safely assume American when you see English and monstrous business behaviors. Aside from that I think the US makes up most of Lemmy traffic anyhow.
