During a recent visit to a local grocery store, I observed a deeply concerning practice that raises serious questions about consumer safety and business ethics. As a customer, one naturally expects freshness, quality, and honesty from a food retailer, but my experience revealed the opposite.While purchasing groceries, I noticed that many of the items on the shelves were already past their expiration date. This discovery alone was alarming, since expired food products can pose significant health risks if consumed. However, what was even more troubling was the store’s response when customers pointed out the issue. Instead of removing the expired items, the staff simply changed or “re-labeled” the expiration tags, creating the false impression that the products were still within safe consumption dates.Such a practice is not a one-time oversight but rather a repeated behavior that the store appears to have been engaging in for a long time. This shows a blatant disregard for consumer well-being and food safety standards. Not only does this undermine trust, but it also violates ethical business practices and potentially breaches food regulation laws meant to protect the public. Grocery stores hold a responsibility to ensure that the food they sell is safe, fresh, and properly labeled. Customers depend on expiration dates as a guarantee of quality. Altering those labels for profit not only cheats the consumer but also endangers their health. If such practices continue unchecked, they can erode public confidence in the entire retail sector and could result in serious legal consequences for the business involved. In conclusion, my experience at this grocery store highlights a serious issue that should not be ignored. The repeated sale of expired products, coupled with the unethical practice of re-labeling them, reflects both negligence and dishonesty. It is essential for consumers to remain vigilant, for authorities to enforce stricter inspections, and for businesses to recognize that long-term success comes from trust and integrity—not...
Read moreWe are extremely disappointed with this store. They continue to sell expired products, which is a serious health hazard. I recently purchased items that were past their expiry date, and unfortunately, our children consumed them before I noticed. This is absolutely unacceptable for a business that claims to sell quality food.
What’s worse, when I checked online, I saw multiple previous complaints about expired food from this store yet nothing has changed! This shows a lack of responsibility and care for customers’ health.
Expired food can cause serious illness, especially in children. I will be reporting this to the local health authorities, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAFRA), and CFIA to make sure this issue is addressed.
For anyone shopping here: check every date carefully before buying, or better yet, choose a store that values...

I happened to go to this store just today had to buy one single item when I saw the price tag it was $4.49 and when the sales person charged me she punched 6.49 upon confronting she said they had to change the price tag but haven’t done so they are manually charging everyone extra !
