Full list of foods that got Asda in Derby fined £250k - some 200 days out of date

In total 18 products at the Sinfin supermarket were found to be out of date

The full list of products that were being displayed in a Derby supermarket leading to a £250,000 fine has been revealed - with one kids' snack appearing on shelves more than 200 days after its use-by date. Asda Stores Ltd has been handed a quarter-of-a-million pound fine for displaying food beyond its use-by date following an investigation by Derby City Council’s Trading Standards team.

The case was heard at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court, where, on Wednesday, October 16, District Judge Jonathan Taaffe found Asda Stores Ltd guilty of 11 offences. These related to having unsafe food on offer for sale contrary to regulation 19 of the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.

Asda Stores Ltd were then handed down the hefty fine and ordered to pay costs of £74,117.69 and a victim surcharge of £190. An Asda spokesperson has since said that the brand "regrets" that the "small number" of out-of-date products were found on sale.

A statement from the store says: “ We regret that a small number of out-of-date products were found on sale at Asda Sinfin in July 2021, and that the high safety and quality standards that we set across all stores were not met on this occasion. Our top priority for every Asda store is to always have the freshest products available on our shelves.”

Out of the 18 items discovered to be out of date, three individual kids' items were found to be more than 190 days past their use-by date. Two Nestle Nesquick Milk Slices were found to be 192 days outside of the use-by date, with another found 208 days past the use-by date.
