Authorizes voluntary donation of expired food or food waste to farmers; authorizes donations if farmer waives liability.

This bill allows grocery stores, restaurants, and other retail businesses in New Jersey to voluntarily donate expired food (like items past their best-by date or spoiled leftovers) or food waste to farmers for use as animal feed. Farmers must sign a liability waiver acknowledging the risks of using expired food and releasing the business from legal responsibility. The state’s Farm Liaison will help connect donors with farmers and coordinate donation logistics. The law takes effect immediately, changing how businesses handle food disposal by creating a legal pathway for donations instead of mandatory disposal.
