The barcode of cinnamon can't be scanned in our charging system**, and our supermarket has never entered the ...... of steamed pork powder"On February 23, a supermarket in Huangshi inspected the goods, and found that there was a batch of expired food, and the longest expiration time was nearly two and a half years.

The supermarket self-inspection found that there was expired food

On February 23, when the merchandise administrator of a large supermarket chain in Huangshi inspected the items on the shelves, he found that a bag of steamed pork powder had a production date of March 1, 2020, and the shelf life of the steamed meat powder was 18 months, and the bag of steamed meat powder had expired for nearly two and a half years.

The goods will be inspected every day, how can there be an item that has expired for so long and has not been found? The merchandise manager was suspicious and immediately reported it to the person in charge of the store.

After discovering the problem, the store manager Xu immediately asked the employees to check all the items on the shelves one by one, and found that on one shelf, it was found that there were 3 bags of peppercorns with a production date of March 20, 2020, and their shelf life was 24 months, which had expired for two years. After inspecting all the goods, the supermarket found that a bag of cinnamon had expired for a year and a half, and another bag of steamed pork rice noodles was also problematic.

Expired products that have been detected.

Cinnamon is in our charging system, and it can't scan the code at all. Store manager Xu told the Jimu News reporter that the steamed meat powder and peppercorns found can be scanned through the store's charging system, but the bag marked with a weight of 50 grams of cinnamon can't be scanned when the charging system scans, and there is also a bag of steamed pork rice noodles that can't be scanned through the charging system.

This bag of steamed pork rice noodles is even more bizarre, and our supermarket does not have products with the same trademark at all. Store manager Xu said that the brand of steamed pork rice noodles has never been purchased in their supermarket, and they don't know how it appeared in the supermarket.

The investigation found that someone was wandering around the supermarket

Why do expired foods appear in supermarkets? Where do these foods come from?

The date of production of steamed meat powder.

It may have been framed by someone, and the other party may have found out in time by our commodity administrator before he had time to make a move. According to store manager Xu, this is a common trick used by some professional anti-counterfeiters, deliberately putting expired food in the supermarket and then buying it and reporting it to the supermarket, extorting money from the supermarket for profit.

After discovering the problem, the supermarket immediately took the initiative to report to the market supervision department of Huangshi Port District, Huangshi City, and at the same time checked the monitoring system in the supermarket.

The date of production of cinnamon.

Because of the blind spot of surveillance, it is currently impossible to determine whether this person did it, but he wandered around the supermarket all day and left without buying anything. Manager Xu introduced that the supermarket is a well-known large supermarket chain in Hubei, with a special commodity administrator, who is responsible for checking the "three phases" of goods (production date, shelf life, shelf life) and product quality (counterfeit and shoddy, expired, rotten, odorous, invalid, etc.) every day to ensure that there are zero complaints about goods. "Every product is inspected regularly, so it's impossible to have an expiration date for more than two years." He determined that the few items that were found to be expired must have been "tampered with", and even suspected that the man who was wandering around the supermarket was very suspicious. However, due to the lack of conclusive evidence, the supermarket did not call the police, but reported it to the market supervision department.

Regulatory authorities remind: pay attention to precautions

This is not an isolated case, and our marketing department has received a number of similar complaints. "After receiving the report from the supermarket, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Huangshi Port District, Huangshi City, immediately intervened in the investigation, and by checking the purchase ledger, it was indeed found that the supermarket had no record of purchasing the kind of steamed meat powder that was detected. A person in charge of the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau introduced that since the new "People's Republic of China Consumer Rights and Interests Protection", the People's Republic of China Advertising Law and the "People's Republic of China Food Safety Law" were officially implemented, and the behavior of buying counterfeits has formed a trend of commercialization.

The staff of the market supervision department conducts an investigation in the supermarket.

The rapid development of professional anti-counterfeiting has made unscrupulous merchants who sell counterfeit and shoddy or three-no products suffer. Although most law-abiding companies are less likely to be harassed by professional anti-counterfeiters, they sometimes have negligence and are reported or even sued in court.

The person in charge said that the market supervision department will conduct spot checks on all kinds of commodities in supermarkets in the jurisdiction from time to time, and no expired food has been found before. "Foods with a short shelf life, such as yogurt, are inspected every day and removed from the shelves about three days in advance. The person in charge introduced that the large supermarkets in the jurisdiction can operate in good faith.

Once it is found that it has been framed, there is evidence to fight back, and at the same time, it is necessary to have the courage to report professional counterfeiters with bad intentions, cooperate with law enforcement agencies to bring them to justice, and do not be afraid of retaliation by more professional anti-counterfeiting gangs.
