Expired baby food

christina39 · May 2011

So I ran to the store last night to grab some food as I was all out (I know - bad mommy) for LO...This morning I went to open one of the packs to feed him breakfast - the expiration date was sometime in 2009.... Indifferent I'm so glad I checked....WTF?!?!?!?!?

Seems crazy to me that the store would allow that to be on the shelf...I wonder if it is that big of a deal? To me it is....

Thoughts?

I've worked in grocery stores and that would be totally unacceptable. Someone's head would roll where I worked at.

I work in a grocery store and that is a HUGE deal. You should be able to take it back and get a newer one free plus they should give you a gift card or something as an apology and if they don't ask to talk to the store manager and s/he will. That is definitely not okay.

Yeah, you should take it back. That is totally not okay.

I would take it back, and speak to a manager!

Um - what store was it. The reason I ask is the A&P stores - Pathmark, Superfresh, A&P, etc. are in bankruptcy and I have noticed that my Pathmark is consistently leaving products on the shelves that are beyond the expiration date. I have started to think it is related to the bankruptcy. So be careful if you go to these grocery stores.
