11B Protection of food donors from liability
A donor does not incur civil liability for any personal injury that
results from the consumption of food donated by the donor if—
(a) the food was fit for human consumption when it left the
possession or control of the donor; and
(b) for food that is required to be handled in a particular way to
ensure it remains fit for human consumption—the donor told the
person to whom the donor gave the food about the handling
requirements for the food; and
Food donors Part 2.2A
(c) for food that would remain fit for human consumption for only
a limited amount of time after it leaves the possession or control
of the donor—the donor told the person to whom the donor gave
the food about the time limit on the consumption of the food.
