Were you shopping at one of the chains where the stores were on strike? I know we've had horrible food situations (and I'm not all that far from you) b/c of the strikes...things in the stores that are WAY past expiration dates, etc...stories about milk being 3 weeks past the date on the cartons, etc...

Perhaps it had been in the warehouse a long time b/c there weren't as many distributions, etc?

Just a thought...but I'd also let the store know.......

Actually I bought it at Longs Drug Store. They sell a lot of this type of product usually cheaper than the stores.
I usually shop at Trader Joes and I'm so glad the strike will be over so the crowds at TJ's will go away.
