Didn't go to read your link. It's just that it is already law or
regulation that you cannot donate prepared foods to a food pantry.
Believe me, I have asked. Without kitchen inspections etc, it won't
be allowed. Too many sanitary and allergy regulations. Sad, but
true.

The link indicated this was new regulation.

Prima facie it is indeed nonsense. I read it as a new interpretation of
an existing regulation. Indeed the fight against fat and salt is going a
bit far. Nevertheless, it (the donation of leftover bagels etc from a
synagogue) falls really in the same category as that you can't donate the
remnants of your meal from your home. Given the enormous amounts wasted
in homes, that is indeed sort of a sin.
