The information portal "gazeta-shqip.com" published yesterday (July 06) the article titled "New Initiative: Supermarkets will be legally obliged to donate unsold food."
A fact-check conducted by hibrid.info confirms that the title does not clarify which country the announced new initiative for markets applies to, making it a generalization.
After clicking the article link, the news is clarified in the content section where it says: "The Brussels region wants to impose legal obligations on large supermarkets to donate unsold food".
From this sentence of the article it is understood that we are dealing with a law on supermarkets, which will apply to the Brussels region.
Link to the article published on the portal "gazeta-shqip.com":
Another reason that makes the title general is the address of the information portal in the "PERSONAL DATA" section which appears to be in Tirana. (see here)
Therefore, any lack of specification of the place where the news occurred leaves room for misinformation that it is about an event that occurred in Albania.
Hibrid.info has also found the original article from the international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle (DW), from which the article was taken, which discusses the law on donating unsold food from markets (see here).
