The price of 'misplaced' a box of fresh milk's shelf life date coding

A supermarket in Vyborg County, Denmark, had 'faced' the shelf life of a box of fresh milk and failed to 'express' it to consumers. As a result, the supermarket was fined for 4 weeks.

This small supermarket called 'Swato' buys 120 boxes of 500ml fresh milk with a shelf life of 48 hours every morning. In accordance with the regulations of the County Food Inspection Agency, all boxes of fresh milk placed in supermarket containers must be marked with an eye-catching expiration date on the box. The main purpose of this is to make it clear to consumers.

This evening, the tired tally clerk Helen Tessa found that there was a box of fresh milk sloping on the side in the cabinet, so he went to the righting, I don’t know whether it was negligence or carelessness, and the box was only 3 hours before the shelf life The fresh milk of milk came to a 'gorgeous turn

After a while, a lady passing by after get off work stopped in front of the milk cabinet. When she saw that this box of milk was incorrectly coded and placed on the shelf life, she was surprised. Then she picked up this box of milk. When I inspected it carefully, I suddenly screamed: It turns out that it is about to expire. This is a deliberate deception! This shock caused Helen Tesha's face to become earthy, and she repeatedly apologized to the lady and explained: This was by no means intentional, but was just my carelessness. At this time, the store manager also rushed to apologize, and said that 'unconditionally accept any request made by you as a negotiated solution.' However, the woman took out her mobile phone and called the County Food Inspection Agency.

After receiving the complaint, the Food Inspection Department immediately sent staff to drive there. After hearing and verifying this matter, a penalty order was immediately issued: From tomorrow, 'Swato' must be closed for 4 weeks, and all employees must attend training at the County Food Inspection Agency at their own expense. The staff of the County Food Inspection Agency said: Any explanation is invalid for the occurrence of such a thing in the supermarket. We will not tolerate or condone such deceitful actions, whether intentional or unintentional, it is tantamount to lying to consumers. We must give a strong warning, so our punishment cannot be soft, otherwise, there must be another time.

Look, such an inadvertent mistake by a tally clerk caused the supermarket to suffer a huge economic and reputation loss. Is this a fuss?
