If a retailer has out of date merchandise (nonperishable food), are they allowed by law to give it to food banks or sell it discounted to employees or quick sale for community? This would be better than throwing it away.

By state law if it out of temperature more than 35 minutes it must be thrown away

No they are not. It's against Wal-Mart corporations policy.

No have to throw it away because it's not able to be sold on the floor because of you can get you know food borne illness

I m not sure what the health codes and laws say about out of date non perishable food.

Nope.anything out of date would be thrown away..dont want to take a chance on somebody getting sick or possibly die from eating out of date or expired foods..

No they can't nor would you want to. All it would take is for one person to get sick or worse to have a real problem. I know it sounds terrible but to keep everything safe that is the way it is.

No they can't sell it by law or give it away.

If it has reached unsafe temperatures then it is a health risk.
