Would only work if you also made them immune from lawsuits due to people getting sick from eating expired food.

they already are under the good samaritan laws; they use lawsuits as an excuse for their shitty behavior.

Depends on your location. Good Samaritan laws vary widely.

The food would presumably "last moment before expiry" i.e. we can't sell this tomorrow so we give it away tonight.

Expiration dates on packaged food are almost always about how enjoyable the food is to eat, not safety. Donating expired packaged food with legal protection from liability would be good for the world.
