Photo taken during the work of changing the expiration date of unsold almond chocolates from “May 31, 2023” to “February 28, 2024” = provided by a former employee
Interviews with former employees have revealed that high-end Western confectionery manufacturer and distributor “Chez Tani” (Kumamoto City) has been changing the labels on unsold products to postpone the expiration date. The company largely acknowledged the facts in an interview, and the Kumamoto City Public Health Center, which received a public interest tip from a former employee, began an investigation. President Masashi Tani said, “I did not give any instructions.” The expiration date sticker “please replace it” “understood” – instructions left on LINE

To be honest, I’m sure there are lots of places doing it that I just don’t know about. It’s just a sticker so there’s no way to tell.

Kumamoto…

Another Kumamoto falsification.

Well, I guess they do it everywhere…

Everywhere does it.
Supermarkets do it, and if you sell expired food in bento boxes, it will sell out.
0010Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:53:32.55ID:gWDgG/R10
Even a high-end confectionery store can turn out like this…
0011Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:53:58.05ID:jdvnSxSP0(1/2)
Why not just set the expiration date a few months in advance from the start?
0013Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:54:18.65ID:2LG7BTA90
It looks like Kumamoto Prefecture’s bad habit of faking things has appeared again.
0015Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:54:48.00ID:A7IRCGTO0
I wish they would call them leftover sweets, not expired sweets.

Most places that claim to be high-end are awful.

This seems to be typical of Kumamoto, the prefecture known for fraud.
0022Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:55:48.78ID:PUdODxpw0
I think it would have been better to just use the 24 year old one.
There’d only be drawbacks to rewriting it.

Chez Tani, huh? (´・ω・`)

Something you do everywhere.

But it’s not selling well lol.
0030Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:57:38.51ID:tpdtzrq20
Well, even the butcher and fishmongers don’t write expiration dates on them, and if it’s packaged, you just replace the plastic wrap and it’s done.
0033Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:58:46.57ID:9rkJ00Tx0
Shetani used to be better, but it has become a mediocre place with poor sponge and sweetness quality.
0034Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:58:50.78ID:8g2up3sn0
Unrelated, but the crunchy plums that were close to their expiration date were soft.

Don’t worry, it will actually boost your immunity.
0036Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:59:15.46ID:4XQh/jNM0
I thought if it was just a little bit, no one would find out.
0037Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:59:22.75ID:YqkFD//70
If it were a snack that you could buy anywhere in Japan, it would be different, but it’s only distributed in the Kumamoto area. The expiration date is falsified and the people of Kumamoto eat it. If it’s only available in the Kumamoto area, that’s fine because that’s the nature of the area!
0040Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:59:49.65ID:tDMKd9B/0
It would be a waste if we had any left over, and since it contains sugar, it won’t go bad.
0041Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 15:59:50.89ID:ebbNxwyU0
Chocolate has an expiration date.
0042Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 16:00:19.84ID:7pglQxSv0
They’re just like the Asahi Shimbun, fabricating stories when things don’t sell. I wouldn’t say it’s safe if there are no adverse effects if you eat it, but
it’s much worse to incite, ignite, and fabricate reports than to replace the sticker like that.
0043Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 16:01:38.05ID:PeiJcg2r0
Natto tastes better after the expiration date. If you leave it for about a month, it will harden and still taste good.
0045Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 16:01:46.96ID:TZ4NMqZr0
It was done normally with the coronavirus vaccine too, so there was no problem.

Kumamoto never learns its lesson.

If the store has decided on it, that’s the expiration date.

sdgs.
0049Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 16:02:42.73ID:JjOuNmic0
That’s why it didn’t taste that good. I want my money back.

I once had a part-time job peeling off the date stickers from a year ago and sticking on the current date stickers for frozen herring roe. That was 30 years ago and I was paid 750 yen an hour.

If you get sued, you might lose, so you probably can’t answer in a place like this.

I heard that chocolate doesn’t spoil.
0056Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 13, 2024 (Sun) 16:04:50.99ID:tJG1/rIW0
Well, chocolate doesn’t really have an expiration date.

This has nuts in it so it’s a no-no.

9 month extension for food products
I’m in the same industry, but I don’t really get it.
