Isnt banning food donations to homeless shelters illegal?

http://nation.foxnews.com/michael-bloomberg/2012/03/19/nanny-bloomberg-bans-food-donations-homeless-shelters-too-salty "In conjunction with a mayoral task force and the Health Department, the Department of Homeless Services recently started enforcing new nutritional rules for food served at city shelters. Since DHS can’t assess the nutritional content of donated food, shelters have to turn away good Samaritans." "The city also cites food-safety issues with donations..."
Answer:

It's legal. More regulations are going to put homeless services harder and harder till no one will be able to feed the hungry and they will just be out of luck. It makes me mad.

As much as a nice gesture it is, the city has responsibility for the quality of the food at the shelter. If the groups donating the extra food want to host their own things to give this food to the needy, they should very well be free to do so.
