“Our store team became concerned that area residents would consume the food and risk food borne illness, and they engaged local law enforcement out of an abundance of caution. We apologize for the confusion.”

Sounds like an asshole lying.

Totally corporate ass covering. many other western countries have passed laws against throwing away and not donating unspoiled food.

Sure if the store gave it away that could potentially open the store up to lawsuits. But the people that are this desperate for food can't even afford the lawyers to do such.

They're just desperate people, out of work due to the pandemic and encumbered further more with a devastating snow storm. No money, no heat, no food makes for a restless population.
