LOI n° 2016-138 du 11 février 2016 relative à la lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire

Urban Farm DB summary

This is the official text of France's food waste law, promulgated on 11 February 2016. It establishes a priority order for combating food waste: prevention first, then donation or transformation of consumable unsold food, followed by use as animal feed, then composting or energy recovery. Food retailers above a certain size are prohibited from deliberately rendering consumable unsold food unfit for consumption and must offer donation agreements to accredited charities, with a €3,750 fine for deliberate destruction of consumable unsold food.
