The printed expiration date is not quite an exact time when the food is actually expired. I’m sure most people have the sense to tell if a free gallon of milk is good or not a week after the printed expiration date.
It’s not like food products immediately expire on midnight of a printed date. Free food is free food yo. Some can last way longer than the printed date if stored properly.
And even if a loaf of bread is marginally starting to go stale doesn’t mean much of shit, as long as it ain’t gone outright moldy people will gladly eat it.
And BTW, that tends to be the nature of the food that donation centers give away anyways, food that’s just past the expiration date.
Man, we have a local gas station that’ll throw away 30 or more fresh cooked bacon/sausage egg and cheese biscuits at 10:10am, just because breakfast ended at 10am.
They refuse to sell them after exactly 10am, they refuse to give them away, and they throw them all out into a locked dumpster.
As if the food somehow rotted away at exactly 10am, hell it was still hot! Wasted food my dude, because of laws and an arbitrary set time.

Expiration and best before are two completely different things.
You’re talking about best before dates, not expiration dates.
