Food donations.

Bill Subjects

Food Donations.

Abstract

Existing law, with specified exceptions, exempts a food facility that donates any food that is fit for human consumption at the time it was donated to a nonprofit charitable organization or a food bank from liability for any damage or injury resulting from the consumption of the donated food. This bill would require the Governor to designate a state agency to establish and maintain a clearinghouse database that enables a food bank or a nonprofit organization, as defined, that has an interest in receiving nonperishable and perishable food donations to contact a food facility, as defined, that has an interest in donating food. This bill would require the agency to prepare and make available informational materials regarding the clearinghouse database, as specified. The bill would also require food facilities to include language in specified catering contracts that informs the purchaser of the food of the clearinghouse database.
