So who didn't think that this didn't happen? Honestly? It's as old a practice as sticking 'best before' dates on products.
The CBC news article names 'Loblaws', but any large grocery chain name could be used. You would be surprised if they didn't do it, wouldn't you. It's such an easy scam.
A former partner of mine in the UK was a 'Food Safety' officer for a large Supermarket company. When she wasn't present, they used to watch out for me and send a whisper around the store to do things right, just in case I was telling her what the mice did when the cat was away. How sad is that.. :-(
There is no way to eliminate practices like the above because there are not enough people to police the system. Relying on integrity is like relying on sand as a good 'footings' medium..
