Carrie - Zellers is no longer Canadian owned so you don’t need to bother shopping there for that reason. Zellers has been American owned for a few years now.

I purchased Zellers brand acetomophin. When I opened the bottle and looked at the expiry day it expired 3 months earlier. I sent of an email to the company and specific store and never heard back from either. I tried to spend my money at Zellers because it is Canadian owned instead of Wal-Mart. But, when they can’t evern be bother to contact me over something like that I will take my money elsewhere.

I asked my husband as he works in a grocery store and he said Kellogs and General Mills do go to the grocery stores, but not as often as they used to. They scan the product but don’t actually pull each one individually and check the date. If they see out of code they pull it.

I purchased a loaf of that thick D’Italinao bread from Zellers a couple months ago. It is $3.50+/loaf. I always check the date and according to the tab was very fresh. It molded in about 3 days. I think someone changed the tags on it. It was bought in a town 20minutes from my house so I never rtd it. I don’t trust Zellers.

Ya the store you worked at did not do this fine but I have seen this at other stores and not just Zellers .We are the ones that have to look at the date and make sure we do are part . You can no longer trust them to do it they are only looking at the bottom line .

Having worked at zellers i know neil is full of crap. Kellogs never comes in the store to check product. they simply supply product to the warehouses who will then ship it on the trucks to the respective stores. Pepsi, coke, lays, old dutch and such are managed by vendors who come in to stock/check dates etc… and issues by those products should go to the respective vendors, whereas the kellogs expiry should have definitely gone to the Zellers store. Sure some products are missed now and then and that can be resolved by a return, but the fact that expired product was being shelved, and that the section was not checked after flyboy88 (sorry, it’s the only name I have) called it in is terrible

Zellers in my area is known to have expired food. I don’t even know why they bother buying fresh bread…it molds everytime.

I’ve written to the company website and Hudson’s bay. No replies.

Just be careful. I rarely buy food from Zellers now.

Write the company that makes the chips they will refund you just give the info on the bag and report the store to them . I did this with lays chip we picked up at wall mart they lays sent us a refund in the mail .

My Zellers is the same way. You have to read the label and check if the packaging has been compromised. My location sells Pop Shoppe soft drinks that look horrible- caked with dust, sticky, and half of them have the lid rusted. My Bf brought this to the attention of an employee who gave the old o sorry we’ll take care of that right away. Two months later they haven’t moved. We now visit this store for a some laughs if we have some time to kill.

I would have contacted Kellogs directly at the number on the box and informed them that the store was selling expired product. I did this with Wal Mart and some Kraft Kraft Dinner crackers as this happened on 3 seperate occasions over a 3 week period. The store itself as well called me a liar but the company issued me free product coupons. The next week when I went back to wal mart they didn’t have any of that product on their shelves.

I was at that Zellers at Vodden and Kenndy road in Brampton,ON. I will keep an eye out for this again as the district manager assured me things will be dealt with and changed. I will make sure to follow up as I have his direct number now!

Manager Neil is full of crap. It’s up to the store to check for expiry dates on food products, not ‘quality checks’ from Kellog’s. Wondering which Zeller’s you were in.
