A national (not US) cake company uses expired ingredients because it's cheaper. Yes, I did report them to the authorities.

You did a great job, OP.

[-] The1Morrigan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And nothing happened after you reported them I assume?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

AFAIK they did get a couple visits from sanitary inspectors, but I haven't been in contact since.

You say "not US", can you elaborate? In the US, expiration dates mean absolutely nothing regarding food safety. I'm not sure if that applies elsewhere, though.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Brazil. Here, expiry dates are taken VERY seriously. Fines for selling bad food can quickly rise to hundreds of thousands of dollars per occurrence.

[-] Feirdro@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I imagine in countries with tropical areas, expired food can kill a lot of people very quickly.
