You're protected when you donate
- Federal law shields good-faith donors. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act protects businesses that donate apparently wholesome food to a nonprofit — the only exception is gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
- Strengthened for restaurants in 2023. The Food Donation Improvement Act names restaurants and caterers as protected donors.
- Health codes allow it. The FDA Food Code explicitly permits restaurants to donate food that has been stored, prepared, and held to the same standards you already follow for service.
General information, not legal advice — state rules add protections on top of federal law. Read more about donor protections.
