Tesco has been fined £7.56m for selling food past its use-by date at three of its stores.
The supermarket admitted 22 breaches of the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations between 2016 and 2017 following an investigation.
Complaints were received by Birmingham City Council about food being sold past its use-by, prompting inspectors to visit three stores in the city.
Offending items were discovered at two Tesco Express stores - one in Carr's Lane and the other at 175 Linden Road - and another at a Tesco Metro in Bristol Road South.
Tesco said it was "disappointed" that out-of-date products had made it on to the shelves, saying it took "immediate action" to resolve the issues.
Well, I've never seen any out-of-date food at their stores - but then, I don't shop there as often as I used to . Still, if there were 22 cases at three different stores, then it sounds like there was something systemic going on here .
I just hope nobody suffered any ill effects as a result of buying and consuming out-of-date food...
