The food recovery process begins when food banks receive USDA food, as well as other donations from non-government entities, that are then distributed to the public or provided to Sub-Distribution Agencies (SDA) and/or Local Distribution Agencies (LDAs) for distribution to recipients.

Florida Statute, 595.420 instructs FDACS to publish a Food Recovery Brochure annually which includes any feeding agency, regardless of whether they are under contract, that is interested in becoming involved in food recovery programs.
