I don't think she said she donated anything old or bad.

If I buy 6 cans of vegetables, and I find that I don't like that kind,
I will donate the remaining 5 cans. Beats throwing them away, and less
hassle than returning them. Sometimes, I just don't care for a
particular brand or flavor.

As for generics and cheap things. I often buy cheaper brands for me. I
buy store brand products for a lot of things - pasta, canned veggies,
soup, cereal, etc. There's not much difference between Kraft mac &
cheese vs Safeway brand (or Albertsons, Fred Meyer, etc). It's just
noodles and sauce mix.

If I am going to spend X amount on food to donate, wouldn't it be more
useful to buy more of the cheaper brands and have more food to share?
That's what I do when I shop for myself. Makes sense to keep doing it
when I am shopping to donate.
