Off topic ... Why not allow food to be taken away? I mean if you can't sell it and don't want to give it to your employees, just donate it then. I mean, it's illegal to sell but it doesnt mean that the food is completely bad, Does it? Stupid law non the less, it's a law, but still, stupid law.

Because it isn't always feasible to keep the food at the correct safety levels as it gets distributed from place to place. City Harvest is a group that I know takes a great amount of pain in collecting food, but if it isn't kept at the proper food service required temperatures it is thrown out. The only way they accept food is food that hasn't been opened and served. So even if you crack it open and take out one scoop/sandwhich, the platter is not considered for pickup.
All foods can withstand being in a refrigerated compartment as potentially hazardous foods must be kept at 41F (5C) or at or above 140F (60C). Anything above or below that can cause illness. This is a health code and food service standard.

Theft as a pretense? It's common in all food service establishments to not allow employees to take any kind of food at the end of shifts. Food is considered a raw material or ingredient. It's like taking any parts or inventory from any other company. This was flat out theft by all definitions and standards of food service companies.
