It depends of who youβre stealing from. Another individual? No. But thankfully now we have big food distribution chains, that have impressive percentages of produce already accounted to be wasted at some point, so please take what you need in the supermarket.

steal from chains, there will be no consequences to any workers, you'll have food, and they'll still be a disgusting profit machine
Like Mercadona in Spain to make a comparison.
They put locks in their rubbish and they throw food in good state not even passing the expiration date in some cases.
Stealing per se is never OK, but acceptable under certain circumstances, of which many have already been mentioned here. In this particular case, foodwaste is another factor, making it a bigger crime not to give away surplus food for free & making people feel guilty of "stealing" it when they can't afford it. Nobody should have to starve in a society where food lands on a dumpster every single day.
