A customer, identified only as Y, discovered expired diaper cream from Carrefour's private brand on sale at a Holon branch. The product, intended for infants, had an expiration date of August 2025, meaning it had expired over a year prior to his discovery last week. Y noted the product was dusty and the bottle slightly deformed, suggesting it had been on the shelf for some time. He approached the store manager, who informed him that the issue was already known and that she had contacted the chain's management for approval to continue selling the expired product. According to Y, the manager stated that management had approved the sale, classifying the cream under 'cleaning and grooming' despite its expiration. Y left the store without purchasing the cream, concerned that other customers might buy the expired product without noticing the date. Carrefour issued a statement asserting that the incident is inconsistent with the company's policy and that the circumstances are under investigation with the specific branch.
