Book excerpt: 1983 Senate Bill No. 28, enacted as L. 1983, ch. 202, provides a limited legislative grant of immunity to a donor of free food to a charitable or non-profit organization which subsequently distributes the food to the public. Except in cases where injury is a direct result of the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the donor, no liability shall attach. However, the law is restricted to a good-faith donor of canned or perishable food, with the former term defined to mean food which is commercially processed and prepared for human consumption. Food which is processed by an individual in their home, even if by accepted methods of canning, cannot be considered as commercially processed unless the individual normally engages in the sale of such canned goods for profit.
