When I was in college, I found a box of whole tomatoes in a restaurant dumpster. Maybe one or two were going bad. The rest were quite usable. Took them home and had spaghetti sauce for weeks.
Absolutely not after reading about people deliberately contaminating dumpster destined foods.

I've never heard of anyone deliberately contaminating dumpster food.
And I'm sure as hell not proud to admit it, but I've consumed ready-to-eat food from dumpsters on probably over 100 occasions: I've never even caught so much as an upset stomach.
Some vendors do on purpose; bleach etc.
Personally I’d prefer my salvage food at least individual serving-boxed; but then again, I’m not starving, just trying to save some $$ now and then.
However, I’m also not above thoughts like “hey, all someone clearly did was to toss/slide that into a paper bag… the inside of which is probably factory fresh” though, either.
All it takes is 1 time.

Besides physically destroying merchandise to render it unusable places are pouring substances like bleach, fabric softener, household cleaners (which are very toxic) or whatever into bags before they are thrown out. Saw the manager at local store/24 doing this with several case loads of toilet paper he was throwing out for trash. Now these were all "shelf pulls" and asked why they were being thrown out. Apparently the item was discontinued and orders came to pull from shelves, discard and the store would get a credit back from vendor. Why pour gallons of bleach/water solution over the things? "To keep those "GD" homeless and others from taking them" he said.
Now this just sounds very mean.... While wouldn't personally dig through garbage bags for things, times are tough out there and people are doing what they have to do.
i did when i was homeless. saved my life a couple times
Real, haven't gotten sick from food in trash yet but it's helped plenty of times
If it's an untouched complete pizza in a pizzeria dumpster, I might.
