Amazon is shipping expired food, customers say
A key problem with the complaints is that customer reviews don't† take into account the effect of commingling. The expired food might have come from a different seller initially, but you were sent it because of Amazon's supply line optimisations.<p>Amazon will know but when you write your review or read someone else's, you won't.<p>Same problem as counterfeit goods and commingling though iirc there are more control in place on perishables so  this aspect of the problem rears its head less often.<p>[†] they can't, we as customers don't have access to the information to know the route items took to get to us
