I'm sure every store has some expired products on the shelfs. Why are they targeting GNC?...... Did the products not have a labeled expiration date? Did one slickster behind the counter sell an unlabeled product to a little kid saying it is not old? If so then that has nothing to do with GNC, but an individual employe of one store. As you guys who work at GNC stated that no such of thing has happened in your store show that it is nothing more than an individual store, and not GNC as a whole franchise. I still haven't heard the media reports, so these are just spectulations. Maybe this has to do with the prohormone and ephera propaganda?
I was at an organic/natural health food store today, actually two of them, and I saw expired flax oil at one and an expired EFA supplement at another. If the consumer is worried about expired products, then simply do not buy it if it doesn't have an expired date on the label. If it does have a labeled expiration date, and that date is passed, then don't buy it...its that simple.
If GNC brand products had a good expiration date, and The company had mislabeled them....then I do believe they should be held responsible. E.g If a product is labeled to expire 08/2003, but really expired 04/99, then thats a problem. Again I don't know the whole store, someone please post a link.
