Food that ends up in the trash is no longer well received these days.
The operator of a supermarket has now felt it - although he can't do anything about the misery.
Maisach/Puch
– Toni Leich was blown away when he suddenly had the police on the phone on Wednesday.
At first he couldn't believe what the officials told him.
Twelve large plastic boxes filled with bread from his supermarket should be at a small recycling center in the Puch district of Fürstenfeldbruck.

"I didn't even know what was going on at first," says Toni Leich, who runs an Edeka market in Maisach.
It wasn't until the police sent a photo that he realized what must have happened.
By then, however, the case had already got around on the Internet.
As a result, angry Facebook comments and emails were received by the store owner.
The riddle has now been solved: the supermarket operator regularly donates food that is no longer for sale to organizations that distribute it: for example to the panels for the needy in Maisach and Fürstenfeldbruck or to the food rescuers.
Bread is often used as animal feed.
The bread that turned up at the recycling center in Puch on Wednesday was actually intended for this use.
The matter is now a matter for the police.
The determined: The 54-year-old driver who had picked up the bread at the supermarket has disposed of the groceries.
Why he did that remains his secret.
The consequences for men are no secret.
When asked, a police spokesman said he was reported under the Circular Economy Act.
The waste management company (AWB), which is responsible for the recycling depots, took care of the bread.
However, it should probably no longer end up in the stomachs of animals.
