That's not true, and it is frustrating to read such a pointless falsehood. I worked in a soup kitchen for years. The Bill Emerson's Good Samaritan Act of 1996 codified in federal law what states had started implementing in the 70s, that good faith donations won't hold people/corporations liable to food injury.

That doesn't stop you from getting sued. That law still says you can sue for "gross negligence". You still have to go to court to prove you weren't grossly negligent.

It's easier to just not donate.
