This reminds me of a story my dad told me. His school went on a field trip to an ice cream factory and he was, of course, expecting this to be the best day of his life. What he discovered, though, left him mortified. They were taking poor-selling flavours and running them back through the machine to change them to something better. If you buy some store brand chocolate and it has undertones of mocha, now you know why. I think of this now whenever I see a product that "may contain peanuts". Like they're not sure.
I don’t know how that’s possible with shelf life considerations, but I guess it could happen? Usually the rules are it has to be thrown out.
They aren't taking them back from the retail stores.
They are taking them out from a production run, from storage facilities.
ah, no idea what workarounds are available to that situation. Guess if it’s only been packaged and never shipped it might be ok? Not desirable, but not unsafe.
Rules are only for when you're caught and have to pay for 'operating' costs.
