Hi Cannonball!
I am in Italy and have heard of this scandal Not only this one unfortunately. Recently there was the case of a firm found to be recycling frozen food which was well past the 'best before' date. They were re-packaging and putting new dates which expired in future years thumbdown
I am wary of everything and it is so difficult to be completely certain that what we buy is safe. I know there are checks being mad but what if they find these things happening AFTER I have bought products from the firms concerned?
I tend to buy as many fresh things as I can and shop in places I feel I can trust who would not be selling dubious products which could have come from unreliable producers. But I think it is a very very uncertain market nowadays sadly sad

Maybe for this matter it's better to buy our food in small shop or in the grocery,
It seems more safe to me than buying from the big industry.

thats true. and so scarey. looks like they'd be worried about law suits. here in US, lots of law suits make them a little more careful, but still it happens that something gets by and people get sick. just recently they found salonella in tomatoes and im not sure if they found out where it was coming from yet

Seems have to be very careful with the food we buy...

This is very bad. I am working on my organic garden to make sure I eat fresh products.
Other than this, I think that Europe is much better with food than America.
How come Italian mafia end up recycling food?

It seems they will do everything for the money and no need to expect help from politics or authorities,they're all corrupted there...

It kind of makes you wonder if anything we are eating is safe anymore after reading about all of the food recalls and salmonela outbreaks and now this.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Cannonball (667)   ranked 508 out of 8,355 in cooking  3 months ago

This also makes me wonder

yes it is true and it also happen in germany in certain areas.i have seen this news in germany tv and in yahoo news.we should look at the expiry date carefuly and we dont look at the price coz this time people looking the cheap price because of the financial problem so i hope we better safe than sorry right?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Cannonball (667)   ranked 508 out of 8,355 in cooking  3 months ago

The thing with this affair is that this has nothing to do with the expiry date + this involves the famous brand Galbana which I guess is not the cheapest.
After all the ads they did, finally the customers adopt the name of the brand and finally make it a part of their life,I mean just like buying good vegetables or any other product.
This really makes me wonder about the trust we usually can get with big brands,especially with food in this case.


myLot reputation of 89/100. bombshell (1061)   ranked 986 out of 8,355 in cooking  3 months ago

i dont know about the brand.they dont mentioned on tv about Gabanna.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Cannonball (667)   ranked 508 out of 8,355 in cooking  3 months ago

Oooooops,
Excuse me it's Galbani:)!

I think that's just sad, but glad that more awareness is out there for companies that do this. Especially with more international trade. Who's to say Walmart doesn't buy up a bunch of expried, repackaged stuff and sell it? (Them as an example). I mean meats are imported from all over the place and the companies don't have the same standards that US producters do.

We butcher our own so I know or get from a butcher. As far as veggies, never frozen I will buy fresh or only from a trusted company like Schwan's. I'll pay the extra knowing I'm getting a good clean product.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Cannonball (667)   ranked 508 out of 8,355 in cooking  3 months ago

I think there's a lot we don't know about big companies and why would they bother when people don't even have a look at what they buy.
To get food at our storekeepers should be a great resolution.
