The big stores usually have spoilage coverage in their insurance policies, so it would make no sense for them to take a chance. They are usually a source for the Red Cross and Salvation Army kitchens in the area. If it isn’t covered by insurance they can write it off as a donation rather than simple spoilage – the accounting is much simpler as they will have records for the IRS as well as some positive PR.

That’s what really ticks me off, Fallenmonk. After the pet food mess they knew what it was going to do and they did it anyway. The Chinese regulators knew what to look for when the kidney problems came up. Greed, pure and simple, and the people in charge deserve to be hanged because babies died.

It is a shame the Chinese have imitated the American system of food processing and distribution. This probably will only teach a lesson to the folks they hang. The dog food thing evidently teach anyone anything.

Disgusting. And all I have to worry about with my dairy products here is spoilage. So far, so good… no store has attempted to sell me pre-storm refrigerated or frozen items. I may feel physically awful, but it’s not from consuming offal.

Of course, if McCain becomes prez, who knows what will go on American grocers’ shelves uninspected…
