Matt Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You have to be pretty careful when giving food away as you still remain liable for food poisoning claims, etc. Yeah, I thought as much - it was only a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny punkster Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You have to be pretty careful when giving food away as you still remain liable for food poisoning claims, etc. nanny state bollocks. any food manufacture company or retail company that does give food away to charities are governed by heath and safety(food hygiene standards etc) it happens every day in marks&sparks,tesco etc etc. the pie manufacturers with have to conform with the same proceedures..if they weren't fit and proper they wouldn't be allowed to sell food to the public. the charity organisations they would be giving to will also be aware of their responsiblities and of how to handle the foods(safe storage etc) and serve them correctly(heating above 82 degrees c to ensure proper temperatures are safe).
