The bill (PL 801/2024) that regulates food donations has advanced in the Senate, addressing, among other aspects, the control over who receives the donations, how the transportation is carried out, and the responsibilities of each party. In summary, its objective is to encourage donations, reduce waste, and provide greater legal security for donations made by companies and other establishments.

The substitute bill included the transportation of donated food as an integral part of the donation process.

The proposal stipulates that transportation companies must be registered and comply with health regulations to allow for control and traceability.

Furthermore, the text establishes that donors and intermediaries will not be liable for damages, as long as they act in good faith and comply with legal requirements.
