Meanwhile in Washington state I can’t give fresh eggs laid by my chickens to a food bank because I don’t have an egg dealer license even though I’m donating them.
I understand this, but given the article here I was thinking if they can pass a law that opens liability on past due timings they could also pass a law on free food donations.
Sure someone somewhere will do something evil but on balance most people just want to help.
To the person suggesting giving eggs to a friend I do do this, I’ve found a lot of other ways to help people, my eggs never go to waste, I just wish I could also share with the local food bank.
If they take fresh/baked goods, egg bread and egg noodles are a good way to get nutrients into bellies without being super difficult to do. The threat profile on such things is also totally different so they are allowed on a lot of places where raw foods wouldn’t be
Also a great use of eggs that are “maybe borderline” rather than tossing them :)
You still have the option to cook the eggs and deliver a free meal to a homeless person in the street. How are your culinary skills? Alternatively, if you know a family that needs a little help, you can directly give eggs to them.
here in the midwest, i see random packages of frozen game meat from the food pantry every now and then. usually venison, sometimes bear… elk once, even. and not always packaged by a commercial meat locker, either.
Yes, but it’s from a certified butcher. There’s annual 'hunters feeding America" drives to donate carcasses to various facilities who process it and give them to food banks. Not bobby joe down the road doing his own processing.

Do you know your neighbors because I would be so happy if my neighbor asked if I wanted some eggs fresh from the hen.
For good reason. While you might (probably, almost certainly,) are good with food safety; a lot of people are not.
They have to legislate/regulate for the worst.

I love this about the midwest
