BAD FOOD WARNING...NEW LAWS NEEDED

FYI..... check your store..

Staples, Michigan Ave /Dearborn, store sold outdated M&Ms (dark chocolate) packages last week, parents and persons who bought them should return them or contact M&M (800 627 7852)..

The coding on the outdated M&Ms is - 631CRCLVO7 - this package was good for 52 weeks but the coding means that the package is 57 weeks old.

M&M customer service rep says that you won't get sick eating them - but the taste won't be the same.
Staple Mgr said they had the packages since January 07 - and were clearing them out. The Mgr couldn't decipher the coding...

fyi... 6 (yr made) 31 (week made) CRCLV (plant) 07 (line made on).........
Michigan needs a uniform food coding law - so that everyone can tell when a food product is unwholsome to eat...NOW....

Contact your state Representatives and Senators and your US Represenatives and Senators... NOW... don't wait till you get sick or your children do....

www.detroituncovered.com HAS REPORTED THAT DETROIT POLICE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN TOLD - NOT - TO TICKET STORES SELLING BAD FOOD...IT'S NOT RIGHT! CALL DETROIT CITY COUNCIL AND DEMAND ENFORCEMENT...( 313 224 4500)....

Check your food items for its coding..report all expired foods items being sold to your local police department and health departments, and to the store manager (get his/her name) - don't think - 'oh someone else will do it' - it is up to you to protect your family.
If you can't understand the coding - ask the store manager to decode it - if he can't - call the store headquaters and the food company - and demand food codings that are clear and readable.
Its all up to YOU....
