"The company stated, 'As a fresh doughnut business, we work to minimize food waste through initiatives that include donating unsold doughnuts to local food banks.'"
"Despite the corporate response, past experiences indicate that employees routinely threw out all the donuts at the end of the day, raising concerns about actual practices."
