Whith What?

In our Hamper this year, the only thing that was "suspicious" was this jam. It's expired by several months, and considering it's jam that means it has to be at least two years old. The typo is also suspicious. I try to avoid eating food from companies that don't bother to make sure they've spelled everything correctly on their packaging.

Seriously, though: Who donates expired jam?

This is nothing though, a couple years ago we got a can of mushroom soup from 1986! I volunteered for the Lutheran Community Care Centre's christmas hamper programme last year and found about 60 cans of expired soup and a few other unusual things, including some rice in a Ziploc bag and something from Turkey, we didn't know what it was. While working at Safeway one day I went through the entire meat department and took about $1,000 of expired product off the shelves. The worst was about a dozen boxes of breaded cheese appetizers that were almost a year old. There is no law against selling it but if the cheese appetizers are any proof, people won't buy expired products, unless you stick a 50% off sticker on it. But then you can put that onto anything and someone will buy it whether they need it or not.
