Ever since House Bill 2394 was voted out of the House Finance Committee, big banks and their partners have flooded the zone with claims bordering on the hysterical. Quite frankly, the industry’s reaction is over the top. The claims are misleading at best, and wholly out of proportion with the change being proposed. Thank you to Tom Charley of Charley Family Shop 'n Save for highlighting the importance of why we need to eliminate swipe fees on the sales tax portion of transactions. #PAFoodMerchants #Opinion #SwipeFees

We support wide range of efforts to decrease food insecurity in Pennsylvania. A best-buy date shouldn't be the only factor in determining if food is able to be donated. We hope the Senate will quickly vote to pass this legislation, allowing for a huge step toward reducing food waste and helping those in need. #AssociationNews #StopFoodWaste #PAFoodMerchants
Pa. House-approved bill would permit food donations beyond use-by date
