Bismihi Ta'ala

Firstly, you must establish whether Ti-Tacs are Haraam or not. If established Haraam, then by no means will you be permitted to distribute this for the simple reason that you would be feeding others Haraam. Throwing Haraam food away would not fall under the category of wasting food.

Also, this would lead to one being more cautious in future by attempting to check ingredients of food items they wish to purchase.

And Allah knows best.
