Selling expired products has brewing up a new trend in our society which is claiming the lives and health of the people which is a blatant fact that is occurring in every nook and corner of Pakistan.
The expiration date on the products can tell us when to eat the food or to use a product to its best quality. But in most societies of Pakistan shopkeepers knowingly sell expired items that are kept for years by stating that there is certainly nothing wrong with it. The food that is kept improperly during a couple of days can be contaminated or may contain bacteria or various pathogens which can cause a food borne illness.
So it is a request to the shopkeepers not to sell expired products just to save a few rupees. The real cost will be more than those few rupees if you end up with meningitis or botulism or some other nasty outcomes that may have life- long symptoms.
