Article 5 – paragraph 11
(11) Operations financed by the Fund shall comply with applicable Union and national law. In particular, the Fund may only be used to support distribution of food or goods that are in conformity with the Union legislation on consumer product safety. In order to prevent waste and to encourage the donation of food products which have not been sold or consumed because their expiry dates have passed, the Commission should make the definitions of use-by date and best-before date contained in EU rules clearer for distributors and consumers, so that foods which can still safely be eaten are not thrown away.

(11a) Operations financed by the Fund may also include the processing of certain highly perishable agricultural products for the purpose of conserving them for longer periods so that they can be distributed to the most deprived persons, thereby also preventing waste. This provision shall apply to agricultural products which have not been harvested by producers or agricultural products which have not been sold by distributors. It may also apply to fruit or vegetables which have been withdrawn from the market by producer groups, using their operational funds, and which, under current law, may be made available to charitable bodies or foundations approved by the Member States.
