Health inspectors raid Choppies for expired yoghurts

A team of public health officers swung into action when a nauseous customer barged in their office showing them containers of expired yoghurts he drank and the receipts. The health officers went to the store and confiscated a number of yoghurts that were alleged to have May 17, 2013 expiry dates.

The health officers told Mmegi there was no need to test the yoghurts as it was clearly written on the containers that they had expired weeks ago. "The yoghurts had on them May 17 expiry date clearly written, we raided on May 30, they were still on the shelves and customers were buying them unawares; so we had to confiscate the condemned yoghurts," one of the officers said.
