Wow this is insane as in wonderful! Where do you live I want to move there! Best I’ve seen around here is lower price on stuff I “save” (as in buying yesterdays bread or greens for a lower price) fully on the markets whim, but “required to give away” is really next level! Do you know how that went through, how I pitch this to my politicians?
At least in my local community supermarkets started to give away food that was on the best before date or with a high discount (30-90%) depends heavily on the cost though. Bananas for example are often free while oranges are just heavily reduced. Cheese and similar products have the lowest reduction in my experience.

Well I kinda don’t want to, due to minimizing my digital footprint but here is a paper of different states that did it and it even has some recommendations for lawmakers https://www.researchgate.net/publication/368501454_Anti-food_Waste_Laws_A_Comparative_Analysis

Totally understand the digital footprint thing, I still got examples of places, including source, really nice :D.
