194:3-e Reduction of School Food Waste. –
A school may partner with a nonprofit or implement a program on its own to make leftover school food, that was prepared but never served, into frozen to-go meals or portions for distribution in compliance with state food safety regulations and Federal Food and Drug Administration requirements and guidelines. The protections of the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, 42 U.S.C section 1791, shall apply to any participating school. The school may send such frozen meals or portions home with any child whose family indicates a desire to participate in such program.
