BBC News reports that Tesco has been ordered to pay more than £50,000 after 25 out-of-date items were found in five stores across the South of Wales. Items were displayed up to six days after their sell-by dates last September and October.
Tesco's spin? "We have strict procedures in place to prevent this sort of thing happening and are very sorry that these were not followed in these instances. This is very unusual as our stores take part in daily audits to prevent any out-of-date food being left on shelves."
What does unusual mean though? Last June we reported on nine-day old bacon being sold in Tesco's Reading store, just three weeks after the BBC Whistleblower programme showed out-of-date food at two other Tesco stores. Twice might be a coincidence, but three times in less than one year is surely a systematic problem?
