I have worked in the produce, meat, and bakery departments at a BJ's wholesale club in the U.S.. at the store I worked at, dates were taken very seriously. If dates were ever changed, they were only shortened. I am very thankful I belonged to a store that didnt make me cheat dates like this.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this in Walmart or some other supermarkets in the USA. Maybe not to the same degree, but don't go into this with your eyes shut and be choosy, not trustingly lazy, be on the alert. I went into an Asian market, in the USA and there was a lid unscrewed on a jar of sauce. I told a clerk and he did nothing about it. I put it back on the shelf and don't buy sauce there. Always check lids for tightness and must be wrapped. That was just sauce, other things could be that way too.

It's hard work on its own, starting it off is hard too, and will only get more and more expensive as the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer, land becomes more scarce and the average person is no longer able to start such a thing. Already that way where I am in Germany, with all the regulations added on top. Americans have it lucky at least, there is plenty of land there. It's very depressing.

You think that it would be logical for someone to make their "money makers" sound more dangerous by putting EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK? I know that if i saw that , personally, i would wonder what that 'risk' is. It'd de-interest me faster than eating passed a best b4 date. U have a good point but... This is food we r talking. W no best b4 date and a beware risk type of switch ... Itd be like not taking responsibility for serving gross sick inducing , disease causing (in worse case) , old foods. No. They need to serve it and serve it fresh. it is real shady to allow ppl to serve the population w this risk warning and is tampering.. so i think so.

I am comfortable buying meat at my stores I use to work there, we do not have a meat processor there. All the meat we sold (And the meat they still sell) came in on a truck, they can't repackage it or re-redden it. That said, we actually buy our cuts of meat from an actual butcher. Ground beef, cold cuts and chickens from the store, Steak, pork chops, and ham, the butcher.

I worked at a Subway and we would put little stickers on it saying when the product expires. My manager told us to just replace the stickers when it expired. Once there was mold on some of our meat, and she asked me to just take the top layer off. The meatballs were only sposed to be good after a few hours, but we would just replace the stickers. We would also put the left over meatballs in the fridge at night, and reheat them the next day, which we are NOT supposed to do.

I used to work in a bakery at a grocery store that was small and local, but growing, about 4 stores now, and at least in the bakery this is true. My manager would tell me to date pies that came in frozen (we displayed them in a refrigerated case) for 2 weeks, when I told her the box said it had 5 days, she informed me that was how many days the pie could sit at room temperature. These were cream pies...you really don't want to leave them at room temp for a few hours, let alone a day. The cakes that were made from scratch were then frozen until decorated with no FIFO system. When mixing batters and other items from scratch we often used expired dairy from the dairy department and were told its fine to use. There was so much more going on, but these are things that I often warn people about who I hear speaking about this company.

I would imagine local stores have more to lose and can't waste a dime, so they'd want to extend how long they can sell something to lessen the loss of product because they can't afford as many losses as these multi million dollar companies and corporations. :/ But on the other hand, local stores are more personal, more familiar and involved in the community so they may care about it more, and can't afford to ruin their reputation amongst the locals cause that would also result in loss. So I guess it depends.

I've worked in produce, bakery, and meat at a large chain. None of what they've shown would ever happen at my store. Fruit is washed in antimicrobial and antifungal solutions, it's then dried before being used on a cake. If a cake doesn't sell in five days it's frozen to preserve it till the local food bank can pick it up. If meat needs to be repackaged it retains it's original use by date. Ground beef is the fastest selling item in the meat department and it is only given one day to sell before being donated. There's little incentive to break company policy since we get payed the same amount no mater how profitable the week is. I suspect they would be more inclined to find creative ways of extending the life of their products at a smaller store.

Behavior like this varies from company to company. I worked at 2 cafés in my student-life. The first one we were told to be VERY safe about expiration dates and "best before" labeling. We even got the allowance of our boss to throw anything out we had doubts about if it was still good. The second place I worked on, mainly sold cake. I worked sparcely whenever Uni allowed it. But it was quite disturbing to return to my shift after 2 weeks of study, just to find the very same cake in the display I left there in my past shift. I always threw it away if that happened, and just told my boss it sold out when he asked where it went. I didn't care much if he found out and fired me. It was just to get some cash on the side. My life wasn't depending on this job. But I'd much rather get fired than potentionally harming the customers that I serve.

I bought a lot of baked goods from there but only the frozen ones and in the original form. Of course, I knew which ones during my shift. When the store was bought by Wall Street corporation , at night all the baked goods in the self serve cases were repackaged and dated for sale ( yeah, after some nasty customers would touch with their bare hands). I now bake my own stuff. Million recipes on you tube. I also don’t suggest you buy already cut fruit and vegetables, especially fruit, don’t be lazy, a few minutes and you’re safe.

Listen to this! I worked with poor elderly as their care giver for "In home Support Services". I took them grocery shopping at Safeway. Jan my elderly lady (Jan and Mike were elderly very disabled couple) she told me always look at what is in the "Manager's special bin". The prices were awesome and everything was close to date, frequently grey brown . But having worked in food I didn't flinch. One day I shopped for self, saw a young butcher pick up trays of meat that had past date. (seniors shop early morning so I did) the dates had past by days. The meat was grey brown and even moldy. I decided to ignore the Manager's special bin. Came back thinking about informing them of what they "overlooked" the young guy printed out new dates. So if today is July 8th meat looked bad and had July 6 date. Then he printed and posted dates 2 days later, such as best before July 10th. Both dated stickers were on the meat. Old people with diminished cognitive function due to mental illness and dementia can't out fox the store. Morally wrong and dangerous. But here in the US we like our poor to be very very poor. So of course folks living on benefits are going to buy it. They think they can;t afford todays prices. Vicious cycle.

There was a store in South Florida called Foodway. High prices as it was the only grocery store in town. Green moldy meat, and if it looked fresh, certainly didn't taste that way, finally the store operation was turned into the county health inspector. After that, people drove 20 miles to Walmart just to get decent fresh meat. Finally, store closed, when a Dollar General Market, opened up across the street.

What truly disgusted me the most was the CHORIZO made there. it's all expired smelly pork , corn dogs with the bread , expired sausage links , expired pork and chicken from the hot foods section , rotten HAM , mixed with "adobo" paste and food colouring , grounded 2 times and into the casings .... I told the store manager and had my hours cut , till I finally told them I quit. I've told everyone I know never to buy marinated meats and specially the CHORIZO

I was an asst. manager in a meat department, we would never do this, I have morals and integrity and the only way to make a profit is to be aware of the best before dates and mark down products at least a week before they expire. If someone in my department did something like this they would not be working for me. Even my manager wanted to do date altering and I raised a stink and took all the products and threw them out, cost the department hundreds of dollars, but I would not stand for that or allow anyone to do it not even my boss! I know my customers knew that they could trust me and that is what I look for when I go shopping, get to know your butcher!

Fortunately, I shop at a grocery store that I totally trust. Management is very strict and they have a large open meat department where you can see the meat being prepared and packaged. If a meat in the meat counter that is 3 or 4 days from the sell by date, a red sticker is put on it that says "reduced for quick sale". It's still good, but you know it needs to be used right away. I never buy pre-packaged meats like Kroger and Wal-Mart sell. I was a Dept Manager at Wal-Mart about a year just because I was bored and thought going back to work after years of staying home might be fun (it wasn't so I'm back at home). I know for a fact their meats are injected with something before they're shipped so they look nice and fresh when they arrive at the store. You have no idea how fresh that meat really is because it's been chemically engineered to look fresh. Kroger meats are mostly all pre-packaged also. I've been shopping at my local Ingles for 20 years and refuse to go anywhere else because I know exactly how they operate. I know I'm getting good quality from a trustworthy store.

Meat that is not ground is not a problem so long as it is cooked properly. The tart is less expensive than the fruit that sits on it. Why retop it? "It's furry already." I love this guy. Do not eat bread with mold. What you see and cut off is just the fruiting body. By the time the fruiting body has appeared, mycelium (that you cannot see) has grown throughout most if not all of the bread. Toss it.

@Tempa T Nice! I use fresh ground black pepper all the time. The kind that comes in a bottle with a built in pepper grinder so I grind it myself (much better flavour). Though I still question the theory that cholesterol causes heart attacks, given the fact that it is a natural substance created by the body and used for things like repairing arteries and such. The whole idea of it causing heart attacks was rejected by the AMA when it was first proposed. And more recently I heard a heart surgeon state that he seen more people with low cholesterol coming in with heart problems than those with high cholesterol. This fact surprised him causing him to look into the history of cholesterol and the idea that it causes heart attacks and that is when t he guy discovered the idea was rejected in the past when it was first proposed. Cholesterol lowering medications have been found to make no difference in your life span when examined in studies and they cause big problems in your legs, with weakening and other issues. My dad has high cholesterol, he was on Lipitor (a statin) for a while, but it weakened his legs so he went off of it. He just turned 79. So... I wouldn't worry so much about that. There is more evidence that SUGAR is a major cause of heart attacks. In fact, a secret document was found in a sugar company's records (it went bankrupt) where they KNEW about this as far back as the '70s. Excess, processed sugar causes diabetes, heart attacks and is even suspected to cause Alzheimer's disease.

the problem with developed countries is the political corruption aka capitalism, where profits are more important than citizen. while developing countries also have political corruption and violence, they also have a lack of any safety nets for their citizens, etc. the benefits of living near water and having a good growing climate are just geographic benefits, which don’t really have much to do with developed vs developing countries. while resources are valuable, if you are not a developed nation, you will most likely get taken advantaged by other developed countries, this is also due to a capitalistic mentality.

This video was interesting to watch what was most likely going on in other departments. In later years I worked as a consultant in many industrial facilities. Sometimes at food processing plants. Things going on at that level too.

This confirms my intuition. Supermarket baked goods , deli products, & highly processed foods are looked at, and passed. Meat comes from a real butcher or is fresh vacum sealed from a reputable food wholesale that supplys resteraunts & others in the catering trade. I've recently gone off, fish & fries which were a sometimes treat. Other fast foods, I've gone thru the retailers & now have found a small Italian owned reseruant which makes the nicest Pizzas in town - fresh ones, & the place seats 20 & is popular. Even the fruit & vege at the supermarkets are given space to stay on the shelf, while the farmers market is used.

Bought a packet of cherry tomatoes yesterday at Tesco. It had an expiration date of July 15 (5 days time) got home and started to make a gorgeous fish salad and I ate one as I was preparing the salad and I immediately felt nauseous and sick, so I cut open one of the tomatoes and to my horror it was as black as coal inside, threw my appetite right out the window. I think that supermarkets get the food they don't sell, freeze and then repackage them. Now on I'm buying from the local greengrocer. Valuable lesson learnt.

I shop at Keoger in Arlington Tn. The meat will turn dark before the best buy date. I have had steak be black on the bottom a day before the BB4. I always take it back. My father was a butcher for A&P for over 60 years. I know meat. Meat that is a little dark used to be called aged. Raymond (my dad) would bring that meat home for free. we would eat it that day. Now you don't know how long it has been "aging".

I used to work at Giant Eagle in the meat department and we were very strict when it came to expiration dates. If the meat expired that day, we would mark it completely down to like 75% off and put it in a special section in the cooler and if it didn't get sold we would throw all that product away. We never messed with expiration dates. Now when it comes to Wal-Mart and other supermarkets, I'm not sure what they do.

I'm amazed by this. When I worked as a fruit seller (mostly in small markets, but in 2012 I worked at one of Condis supermarkets), EVERYTHING that was past-due was destroyed: if something was expiring that same day, then the cats could have it, but if it expired the day before it was not even for the stray cats. In the supermarket they were REALLY focused on avoiding anything out of shelf life to even be in the shops and they pushed for it from the beginning.

I use to get sick from eating ground beef. I read this article and told the man at the meat department if the meat was not fresh I will get sick because some of the meat was red and some gray before. He immediately took the meat from me, went in the back and ground up fresh meat for me. Now when I buy ground beef I talk to the meat manager first to get fresh. I no longer get sick.

a practice that will not go away unless severe consequences are done and random testing of markets. I only ever worked at one restaurant that would try to do these types of things.

In the UK we have best before for long lasting goods like pasta and rice, but for perishables the label states use by, not sell by. In supermarkets, when perishables approach the use by date, they are reduced in price to achieve a quick sale and prevent food wastage. I save a lot of money by judicious shopping. Great for those of us who have a limited income.

Frozen stuff is also (usually) much fresher than "fresh" stuff in supermarkets. Wether you are talking about vegetable or meat. Frozen meat can't get rotten as easily and they will pretty much always freeze it without a major delay. Or unripe fruits that ripe during the travel in boxes to be fresh in your supermarket - better to have them frozen on harvest and then transported.
