October 22,2018 from the Jewish Press:
"A long-running campaign begun 10 years ago by Leket Israel that was led by MK Uri Maklev with support from MK Eli Elalouf on Monday became a reality. The Food Donation Act was passed in the Knesset plenum, on the heels of World Food Day (October 16th)."
"The Food Donation Act, similar to the United States Bill Emerson Act, absolves food donors, non-profit organizations and staff and volunteers at the non-profit organizations from criminal and civil liability, provided they adhere to the food safety requirements set forth by the Ministry of Health.
"Israel joins a group of only four other countries in the world (US, Canada, New Zealand and Italy) who have a similar law which encourages the collection of excess food and protects the donors and organizations that distribute it."
