Such are the times.
A lot of restaurants donate "leftovers" (cooked but not ordered/served) to food banks and shelters but that is fresh food. Old, expired food? Too risky.

I suspect it usually has to do with forcing the garbage pickers to buy something rather than just taking the discards. I can't imagine anyone getting sued for putting old food in the garbage (what else would you do with it?). Deliberately poisoning the old food would be a different matter.
