If the store is near home, you can take expired food to the store. Generally, the store will give you a new one or give you a refund immediately, and will apologize to you again and again. If nothing causes any loss or injury, most people will choose not to do it.

The expired food in the supermarket will be returned to the local distributor first, and the supermarket will not lose anything, because there are expired return clauses in the agreement between the supermarket and the distributor, which is not good for the return. The expired food recovered by the dealer shall be returned to the original manufacturer for a new product.

General manufacturers use lime burial or degradation pond to treat expired food, and combustible food is sent to garbage incineration station. Biscuits, bread and other cereal foods are used as feed. However, not all foods can be returned after expiration. For example, some brands of high-end food, overdue by the dealer.

Such as milk, eggs, meat and other fresh foods. Often, bacteria grow for the first time, and then there will be changes such as odor. Cookies are generally softened by moisture, and the taste changes first. Bacterial growth and oil oxidation will produce harmful substances, and food will become soft when it is wet, but it is not delicious. In the food industry, these are all "food corruption".
