New Jersey S2909 allows voluntary donation of expired food or food waste to farmers for animal feed, if the farmer waives liability.

New Jersey S2909 authorizes retail sellers and distributors to donate expired food or food waste to farmers for use as animal feed, provided the farmer signs a liability waiver. The waiver must acknowledge the potential dangers and negative impacts of consuming expired food or food waste, release the seller or distributor from any liability, and waive any right to legal action. The Farm Liaison is directed to collaborate with farmers and retail sellers or distributors to develop networks for these donations and coordinate communications about available expired food or food waste.
