Special case - food waste - this is how you have to dispose of expired food

There are numerous legal requirements for the disposal of food leftovers – so –called organic waste – in Germany: Regulation (EC) 1069/2009, for example, stipulates hygiene regulations for animal by-products that are not intended for human consumption. The regulation of the European Community distinguishes three food categories, of which category 3 is relevant for food retailers.

So-called K3 foods include unpackaged and packaged meat (so-called K3 meat) as well as packaged foods that contain animal by-products (e.g. cold cuts, yoghurt, etc.). All food leftovers that are sorted into this category must be disposed of in separate organic waste bins for K3 material in accordance with the legally applicable hygiene regulations. All purely plant-based foods such as fruit and vegetables are not subject to Regulation (EC) 1069/2009 and must be disposed of separately in the organic waste bin according to GewAbfV. Important to know: If the food is packaged, the packaging must first be removed and properly disposed of separately.
