Anonymous Coward User ID: 70736758 ![]() 11/05/2015 10:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Frito lay is concerned with legal liability. This is the reason why they don't give away expired chips to, say, homeless shelters. The chips are perfectly fine to eat, but their lawyers tell them it makes them liable if someone gets sick from the chips, chokes, dies, etc. My employer, a very large accounting firm, used to send uneaten catered food to homeless shelters, but stopped around 2008 for the same reason, legal liability. A lot of perfectly good food gets thrown away,I take some of it home myself. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70736758 Yes, but since it's in a dumpster, fenced and locked (like many fast food dumpsters), they are no longer liable. Trust me. They can still be sued in civil court. |

Morpheus User ID: 54601458 ![]() 11/05/2015 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Dayton police officer was assigned to watch Frito Lay, 49 Kelly Ave., specifically the dumpster where they put expired product, as it’s a popular place for theft, according to a police report. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42454579 Around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, the officer observed Offinger inside the fenced area by the dumpster; saw him jump the fence and flee on foot. The officer tried to stop him, but he was later picked up. [link to www.ajc.com] Thats hillarious! I remember doing that at a kid in the early 70's. A bunch of us neighbourhood kids would ride our bikes about a mile or so to a small industrial park and raid the Frito Lay chip and hostess dumpsters. The stuff was only a day or two past the expiry date and still in the packages and boxes. Suprised that none of us got fat from doing that! Thanks for reminding me of a good childhood memory!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70736758 you don't have a clue as to what Frito Lay's policy is...my husband worked for them for 15 years. During this time they would throw old chips away, but later found that people would take them out so they instructed their employees to open every bag of chips when they deliver them to the dumpster. Frito Lay did this so it would not affect sales. They have never donated to any type of food bank because it cuts their sales. Frito Lay, which was part of Pepsico, is not a altruistic type company. They do not ever give away anything, not even their stale garbage, and it is has nothing to do with any type of liability. This liability is eliminated when it is donated to any type of food bank. Frito Lay does everything possible to ensure people buy their chips and you don't get them any other way. |

Don't worry, we only shoot dogs. Now come with us down to the station, we'd like to talk to you about some out of date fish wrappers that were found behind the Safeway store dumpster. *** Good deeds bring rewards, bad actions bring troubles.

Matter of fact rarely do I buy chips but just opening the bag and smelling it reminds me of those days. The problem is the retards who get sick off of anything else they dumpster dive for will sue for their illness. |
