Hardee’s fired a manager of a store for giving the ends of roast beef being sliced (too small to safely slice) to homeless people instead of tossing them in the dumpster as required.
That was back in 1977.
Some policies that seem screwy like this are meant to eliminate liability (thank you heartless lawyer bastards) because if an employee eats a near expired sandwich and getrs sick they could sue the employer, nevermind the fact the same sandwich could have been sold 10 minutes earlier and make a customer sick with no recourse....

It's really none of those things. Employees can be quite clever in ways I would never imagine. They could hold back placing the oldest out first, depleting the freshest and viola! A dozen sandwiches to take home beecause they expired. Or the food manufacturer who accidentally fills jars with an allergen sequence out of step, causing it all to be good product but unsellable and the employees get to take it home because of the "mistake".
The steps companies take are to prevent past documented means of theft and liability issues which have happened. The policies are corrective action.
