so many expired breads in the mart

I shopped today in the mart but I was a bit frustrated because there were no breads in the shelves. Then by and by, my attention was directed to piles of boxes of bread at the corner. I told the cashier that they had breads over that corner. He told me that they were all expired thus needed to be returned. So many breads are wasted now that the lockdown has been eased out. People do not do panic buying anymore.

It is a great shame that the bread is being wasted. Surely some of it could be used.

@Janet357 For sure, if the bread is just a bit stale, then it could still be used.

they can still recycle it. I wish companies would give it to those who badly need them. i thin they are still edible. they can toast them.

They sell it off here for pennies rather than waste it. If its just expired there will be nothing wrong with it. Alwys good for toast.

Wasting of food material is really bad. customers are equally responsible. we face the same problem.

Would the store not let you take a look at them? Surely not all of them had molded.

@Janet357 They can't legally sell these loaves of bread, but nothing says they can't GIVE them away!

I'm sorry to hear there are many expire breads there. Maybe since it's pandemic, so the retailers don't come to restock either.

The mart people should have donated the bread before they expired to the poor and needy if not sold.

That's bad because they don't have any fresh bread. I don't think it's wasted and is used in some other thing

i suspect they will toast them because they sell toasted bread too.
