The Carabinieri's NAS health police
unit on Tuesday seized around 16 tonnes of frozen food that was
past its sell-by date at a warehouse in the southern city of
Taranto, sources said.
In some cases the sell-by date had been elapsed for years.
The officers also seized 3,600 bottles of mineral water that
were being stored in direct contact with sunlight.
The administrator of the warehouse has been cited for
attempted retail fraud.
