Old products- packing new
Peredkazhdzhym a big holiday (New Year from them the most "running"), shop workers themselves put out chocolate candies with a past implementation date in gift kuljochki. Do not have time these stevedores "gift" take the place of fillings, as they are immediately snapped by buyers. They do not realize that the overdue chocolate is often worms.
Here is another widely used way of getting rid of stale goods. From the old cheese or the sellers themselves, the sellers scrape the mold with a knife, then they rub the place with cotton wool soaked in butter. Then the products are wrapped in a film with a label attached with a new shelf life.
How to "update" stale foods
Some traders simply "refresh" the fish is not the first freshness, putting it in vodichku skapley usual cleaning agent for utensils. Then the fish are washed with boiled water, and it acquires an amazing shade of the freshest product. With the help of ice, a commercial appearance of a weather-beaten meat is often used. From the cold it quickly gains a beautiful red color.
Many of us, in order not to make a mistake with the choice of meat, ask sellers to cut the chosen piece. If the cut of meat glitters - it is exactly fresh, and if the cut is matte, then this product is stale. So, cunning traders and then know how to cheat. Some of them rub pieces (quickly and imperceptibly) of hygienic lipstick with glitter. The cut acquires a shiny look and a pleasant aroma in all senses.
To impart a presentation to immature products, above the counter, for example, with tomatoes, set a special light, giving the green tomatoes a bright red color. Buyers are given out for weighing dark bags. Already at home many are surprised, as it was necessary to select only green fruits from a heap of red tomatoes. On fruit is also easy to deceive. Fresh and rotten fruits (for example, lemons) are filled with a water mesh. Sometimes the price tag says that the package contains 1 kilogram of lemons, and they are actually 930 grams.
Preparations should be purchased only in factory packaging. For sale by weight, non-freshenes are "refreshed" with frequent mixing and generous addition of mayonnaise, masking the stale. If the purchase of information about the expiration dates is closed by the price tag, do not be lazy to pick it up. You can learn about buying a lot of interesting things. Similarly, enter the label with the date of sale pasted on the package. It is much longer extends the life of the product, under it lies the true data.
Do not overeat the semi-finished stuffing! In many places it is made from spoiled straw. Also, foul meat goes to making ready meals, which are realized in cooking - that's why they are so generously seasoned with sauces. Cooking is generally a department in a store that is best avoided. There are flocking products are not even third freshness.
When the goods expire in the factory packaging, the expiry date of the expiration date, in some shopping malls, the packages are opened and manually packaged in the retail packages, pasting a new shelf life. Products with expiring shelf life are always put ahead to be taken away faster. If you want to choose something fresher, put your hand inside the rack - there can be much hidden.
Shares and sales
Another kind of grandiose deceit is hidden under the words "action" or "markdown". Such products are usually not sold at their usual place, but are placed on special trays with a big inscription signifying a low price. Distinguish the concept of "discount" and "markdown". The difference from products at a discount, discounted products can not be! The products are sometimes given at a discount because they will soon end, but the shelf life has not yet expired. If the product says "stock" or "markdown", then almost always it means that the product is spoiled and its implementation time has passed. To the buyer did not suspect the trick (in appearance or smell), such products are packed so that this package with all the desire is not possible to open.
"Eco", "bio" or "without GMO"
The number of worshipers of organic organic products is growing every day throughout the world. The advertisers could not use this aspiration of people to eat ecologically clean products. Now in our shops, the consoles "eco", "without GMO" or "bio" can be seen on all products in a row.
The problem is that in the countries of the European Union, America and many other countries there is a law of uniform standards for the production of products labeled "eco" and "bio". In the CIS countries, there are simply no such standards. Accordingly, the inscription "does not contain GMO" can often be seen even in salt. Who would say where the genes have salt? ..
Sunflowerless oil without cholesterol
Half of the population was cholesterol. Therefore, a special note on the bottle with sunflower oil - "does not contain cholesterol" - gives the producer the right to raise the price of his oil. But not everyone knows that there is not and can not be any cholesterol in any vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, soybean, etc.)! Cholesterol is a fatty alcohol, contained only in animal organisms. Write on bottles with oil "does not contain cholesterol", it's like writing on it "does not contain milk" - it can not be there. But the prices for this inscription are often overestimated, and people are "being led" to this trick. And according to the law, producers are "not undermined" - they do not lie, in their oil there is no cholesterol.
Incomplete and redistribution
To give the product more weight, there are many tricks. For example, water is injected into the meat with a syringe - this is much heavier. Fish and seafood, sold frozen, watered before freezing water. Then the ice forms from the water, which makes the product heavier. In fact, there are certain standards for this icy "glaze" in a percentage ratio, but who will check it in the store?
If the product in the original packaging with the specified weight pasted a store price tag-take a closer look. Sometimes the weight printed in the store suddenly increases by 20-30 grams. Goods, prepacked in supermarkets, are estimated usually not by mass net, but entirely by gross weight. So we pay also for the weight packs in addition to the weight of the product itself. In this case, the sellers-packers use a very dense film. Especially often this method is used with expensive delicacy products - cheeses and fish.
Be careful, do not be afraid to defend your rights - so you will not let yourself be "burned". Everyone pays their own interest, each "has his own shirt closer to the body." It is not necessary to hold rallies and defend the truth with "sabers" - this is unlikely to change the situation. Just watch what you buy yourself and take care of yourself.
