I have often wondered if other countries are so restrictive about their
food laws. I nearly cried every morning at a Kroger (where I worked to
help keep myself in school) because they would take all these pastries
and such that were ~24 hours old and throw them away. I was told that
they couldn't sell them at big discounts or give them away because if
someone got sick then they could sue Kroger for half what they were worth.

This stuff was fine. It didn't require refrigeration and would be things
that you would keep on the counter for 2 weeks or more and they were
throwing away several hundred dollars worth, every day! It was a firing
offense to do anything else with this stuff except drop it in the large
dumpster in the back of the building. What are the laws and courts like
in other countries? Can they do the same things there??
