He said similar issues were found at the store during further inspections on August 31 and October 13. The court heard that in one inspection an item of food was found that was 51 days over its use-by-date. A number of the out-of-date items had been reduced in price, and Mr Rice added: “Some of the cooler cabinets had signage instructing staff where the out-of-date food items should be placed.”
He was reminded that as the boss of a food store he should have ensured that meat was put in a refrigerator. Mr Rice continued to detail the stomach churning finds in the store. He said: “There were a number of unpackaged meat items in a dirty cardboard box in a chiller, some were seen to be mouldy. When asked where they came from, he said they came from an individual who just drops them off. It was not traceable.
