Fox 29 reporter Joyce Evans checked out Philadelphia's stores to find if expired products are being sold right here in Philadelphia. She has this exclusive report.
Joanna Bouldin, Change to Win: This box of Momentum backache relief expired in November of '07, so this is over a year old.
Joyce Evans, Fox 29: It was one of over thirty products consumer advocacy group Change to Win displayed at City Hall.
Bouldin: This gallon of milk expired four days before we purchased it.
Evans: Not just dairy products and over-the-counter adult pain relief.
Bouldin: (At a package of Enfamil infant formula) This expired in November.
