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 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. People also take it back to stores to get refund.walmart Kroger usually takes things back without receipt.
