Food giant Waitrose was fined £15,000 yesterday for selling goods more than two weeks past their sell-by dates.
A total of 15 products were found to be between one and 16 days past their sell-by dates at stores in Hailsham and Crowborough, magistrates in Eastbourne heard. The firm was fined £1,000 on each of 15 counts of breaching regulations.
The company said it had reviewed its procedures to ensure it did not happen again.
