Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These regulations prohibit suppliers and retailers from agreeing to or providing financial relief or compensation for unsold bread, and prohibit suppliers or retailers from taking back unsold bread supplied for retail sale, except where the bread does not meet the contracted type or quality (regs 3–5). Penalties of up to $750 apply. The rules reallocate commercial risk around unsold retail bread and therefore affect pricing, inventory and waste-management choices by suppliers and retailers.
