Reply to comment by pangaea1972 in Giant Eagle sold food almost 4 months out of date at a big discount. Is this weird or nah? by puddinteeth

Snyder is an outside vendor. All the vendors should be rotating their stock and giving credits for out of date items. Either the store is doing something shady, or Snyder messed something up, and that date might be fine. Also, while 4 months would not be ideal, if that is accurate, it would still be edible as long as it is sealed.

It's been a while, so I don't remember, but some vendors will leave out of dates at the store when issuing credit to dispose of or throw them away themselves. Sometime of vendors left out of dates, and we would let people take them or whatever. Of course, they were out of date by a few days, not months.

Given what you said I’d think the blame would fall on Snyder then, GE has union employees and non-union department managers. No one is doing some shady shit cause their manager said so, it’d be easier to get your manager fired

Also, there are food banks that pick up out-of-date products like bread, cakes etc. Don’t know if pretzels would be one of those things. Either way the fault falls wholly on the vendor for not catching it. Even if it was only serviced once a week, that vendor has left it there more than a dozen times and said ‘fuck it’.
