Abstract
Federal and state legislation provides liability protection to donors. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act protects donors from civil and criminal liability should the product donated in good faith later cause harm to the recipient. South Carolina’s legislation also protects good-faith donors from criminal and civil liability. Restaurants, grocery stores, and schools can donate. The S.C. Department of Environmental Services encourages donation as long as all food safety requirements are followed.
