That food had to go somewhere; did they do a big giveaway like sensible people, or did it all just go in the dumpsters so as to not devalue their remaining stocks? I suppose some items might’ve been shipped back to where they came from as well, but they couldn’t possibly do that for everything. Genuinely curious how this shook out in terms of waste mitigation vs profits protection.


landfill.
Liability is too high in giving it away. If someone takes an item out of a freezer or refrigerator in a store and leaves it in the shop without buying, it cannot be sold.
If they gave the food away they would likely get sued by someone with a tummy ache.
