In the UK, no, shops are not actually allowed to sell out of date food, even at a reduced price!. I have seen smaller shops doing this before, but they are actually breaking the law!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They can sell it off cheap because they are showing it is out of date to people who want to decide if they wanted to buy it or not because people know it's out of date!.
also, it's allowed, not aloud!. Sorry just to let you know!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont think so!. check the FDA's website!. What I have seen some stores do is reduce the price the day or night before it expires but not after!.
Perishables like fruit juices or milk, meat or eggs should not be sold after expiration!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on state/country laws!. In Illinois, you cannot sell expired food, however I know in Michigan you can!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
