Wow KSL... Great investigative reporting. People are buying expired products off the shelves?! You could ask any 17 year old that works at Smith's or Macey's and they would tell you the same thing: "Yeah. Everything is pretty much expired."
When I worked at a grocery store we threw away expired stuff all the time. It was crazy the things that we would find on the shelves. Doing inventory one night we found a can of food that had expired back in 1998. It was 2004 at the time.
What really bugged me last night was the snipets they ran during the commercials:
"Do you really know what you're feeding your family? Find out tonight on KSL news!"
"The danger lurking on store shelves, a KSL investigation. Tonight!"
"Are you a terrible parent for feeding your children?! Find out on KSL News!"
"Our Investigation targets supermarkets, poisoning our families. Only on KSL!"
"Several of the products we purchased had passed their dates by weeks, months, even years. For example, we bought vitamins that expired in January of 2007, a bottle of vegetable oil that was dated September of last year, pasta that expired last December, and cereal that was two years old. We also found outdated prepackaged meats that were still for sale, including hot dogs that expired a month before we bought them. "
Who cares. If you can eat it, it will only make you stronger.

Totally your fault if you don't check the dates. I always do.
