It makes you wonder what else the supermarkets don't check!
I don't imagine they really check anything. A while back, I heard a delivery man on TV say, the only supermarket that swiftly receives and checks deliveries of meat is Morrisons.
If they don't bother that much about food safety when the stuff is in their car parks, I can't imagine they care much about anything else.
I hope I'm wrong but after seeing such negligence that endangers our health, I feel, there but for the grace of God.....

It was, probably, about a year ago when I saw a TV programme about an Israeli (I think) company that made marmalade for various British supermarkets. An individual from that firm said that the only British company that checked the fruit that went in to the pot was Marks and Spencer. The M&S person always rejected plenty of oranges that M&S didn't consider good enough for their customers.
I suppose it's a bit naive to assume that all of these supermarkets check the quality and ethics of everything they sell - although they would like us to think they do. Another thing we prefer not to think about.
I think that’s an example of a business that was absolutely ‘broken’ for one reason or another. Something had gone radically wrong ... probably cash flow leading to staffing problems and management who were totally out of their depth. Supermarkets push suppliers to trim their margins so severely that it only takes one thing to go wrong and there’s no leeway to deal with it because of the scale of the business.
If something goes very awry and you have no funds to employ fresh staff/fix equipment/buy more feed or whatever what do you do?
I’m not saying there’s any excuse for intentional cruelty .... but sometimes things go wrong unintentionally and the results are awful ....
But how many of us compare prices when buying our eggs ... and buy the cheapest ones with the Free Range label?
Keeping animals and producing food of any type in good conditions can’t be done on the cheap ... but we all spend a smaller proportion of our income on food nowadays than our parents did but expect more choice and better quality.

I've always refused to buy eggs and milk (and most animal products actually) from Asda. This hasn't done much to pursuade me otherwise My local Morrison's also wastes far too much food through lack of care which doesn't inspire confidence in their welfare standards away from the shop.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
