I have noticed when you visist the supermarket very often you find items especilly food items that have a day or two to expire.

Is this allowed, should the good be pulled out of the shelves ten days or so to go to esnure that consumers do not get exposed to rotten stuff.

And the strange thing is that the Kenyan consumers are aware and they have not done anything about it.

I think its up to the buyer to check the sell by date, but I think most supermarkets pull expired stuff from the shelves.

Nyeuthis never care to read those details, they only read the big prints like Mala, Lala, Fresh Miok, Yogheart, etc...tumbo iko mbele, maisha iko nyuma.

Is this a Nakumatt problem or a more widespread one?

Survey a few shoppers and you will know this is a perenial Nakumatt problem.

This is not a issue for the buyer, the buyer needs protection from such rogue business men and women.

You have a choice, dont buy. Plus the expiry date is there for you to decide whether your consumption will be within that period or not.

Consumer should stand up for herself and read the expiry date carefully and understand it.
The food will go into her emaciated stomach and not to the stomach of the authorities or nakumatt!
