You know? Where does the expired milk go in the supermarket? The inside salesperson finally told the truth
Milk is one of the most commonly drunk drinks in our lives, because milk contains a lot of calcium and protein, regular drinking milk can replenish the lack of trace elements in the body, thereby improving the body's resistance. If you drink milk regularly, you will find that most milk has an expiration date, and once the expiration date is over, the nutrients in the milk will also be reduced, and even harmful substances will be produced.
If you have expired milk at home, you can choose to throw it away or feed it to your pets. Although the milk in the home is processed in this way, how is the expired milk in the supermarket processed? You must know that supermarkets have absolute control over the shelf life of goods, and once there is a problem of expiration or expiration, it will definitely not be sold on the shelves. Since they can't be put on the shelves, where do they go?
I believe this is a question that many friends want to know. After all, the amount of milk in the supermarket can be tens or even hundreds of times more than the amount of milk in our homes. It can also be a hassle to handle so much milk. In order to help you solve this mystery, I also asked a friend who has worked in a supermarket for many years, and learned from him about the channels and methods of milk processing in supermarkets. In fact, most supermarkets will use three methods when handling these expired milks.
1. Discount promotion.
When we go to the supermarket to buy something, we often see some dairy products with discounts, and these dairy products are often very discounted, such as the original price of 100 yuan can now be bought for 20 yuan. Many friends who are greedy for small and cheap will can't help but stop and buy when they see this situation. For supermarkets, the expired milk can be disposed of through discount promotions, and customers can also buy cost-effective goods at low prices. It's definitely a win-win situation.
2. Bundled sales.
In addition to discount promotions, some supermarkets will also deal with it through bundled sales. For example, if you buy a carton of milk with a fresh date, the supermarket will also give you a bag of milk that is about to expire, which is free of charge, so there is no additional fee. In this way, you can quickly dispose of the expired milk in the supermarket, and because of the gifts, it can also arouse people's desire to buy.
3. Resell it.
Some supermarkets have a large stock of milk, and if they can't absorb all of the milk stock by these two methods alone, they will choose to sell the expired milk at a low price to small traders, who will sell it directly on the street. Compared with the supermarket's own digestion, the transaction conversion rate of these small traders will be higher. When there are more small traders in the cooperation, the supermarket's expired milk is not sold at all.
What should I do if the milk in the supermarket has expired? Why don't you just throw them away? Doesn't that seem a bit too wasteful? In fact, the expired milk will not be thrown away at all, and the supermarket is likely to dispose of the milk at a low price to livestock farmers. Although it has expired for humans, it is nutritious food for animals.
