minus-square@Gabulink73•1 year agoA national (not US) cake company uses expired ingredients because it’s cheaper. Yes, I did report them to the authorities.
minus-square@Gabulink8•1 year agoAFAIK they did get a couple visits from sanitary inspectors, but I haven’t been in contact since.
minus-square@bendaklink5•1 year agoYou 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.
