Statement from Grocery Outlet:
“We've been serving Oregon consumers for over 30 years with quality, wholesome product and a 100% unconditional product guarantee. Our prices are significantly lower than most other alternatives because we aggressively seek out bargains from most all national and regional manufacturers. This primarily consists of excess inventories, not out-of-code product. It is our policy to reduce the price of any short coded product to clear it out before the "best by" or "use by" date expires. Most product that does exceed a date code is supposed to be pulled from the shelf and not sold; on occasion a manufacturer may allow us to sell it past this date, for no more than 30 days. Your description of the amount of post-dated product you found does not match our product standards or our inspection of the Beaverton store this week.”
