If you ignore the incompetence that lead to this situation in the first place, it’s likely that the expiration date on the food items is sooner than they could reasonably ship it to the US and distribute it. I also question whether Americans would eat it. Just speaking anecdotally from my volunteer experience, while the poor or hungry in the US appreciate a free meal, they still want things that are familiar and palatable. Dumping 800 tons of dry emergency biscuits on food banks would likely result in expiration and a ton of waste anyway. Not to mention the storage and handling requirements (dry environment, no direct sunlight.)
