Walmart busted selling produce and meat weight incorrect

Apparently, a video creator has been visiting Walmart stores and testing the accuracy of pre-weighed items like meat and produce. In multiple videos, he walks through the store selecting randomly labeled packages and re-weighs them on produce scales. To ensure the scales are accurate, he first checks them using a verified 2 pound weight. In some cases, the results are surprising. Meating only weighing about half what is printed on the label. If this is true, how are they getting away with this? Some of these demonstrations raise serious questions about labeling accuracy.

Since 2024, Walmart has already settled 3 lawsuits for weight being mislabeled. Seems it must be more profitable to just pay the fine than be honest.

Lack of activity will make this thread be deleted. But it deserves to be up for awhile and read. I only heard about this recently and it seems this was getting posted in January but I never saw it anywhere until I stumbled on it.

If this is real....we're looking at serious fraud.

this was getting posted in January

CBC did a thing back then. Some stores were including the packaging in the final sale weight.

Redial,

Canada?

What is it taking so long to hit the news cycle in the US?

This is very serious.

No idea. Might be a different issue. Or a tik tok thing with no evidence.

Redial,

Chicken is one thing but the plastic around a ham doesn't weigh 2 lbs.

The weight of the packaging doesn't even work there with hams.

It looks plain and simple.

This has to be something employees knew about who worked in meat. It seems to be widespread.

To keep their jobs, they wouldn't blow the whistle.

I'm just amazed how much it was. Literally doubling the weight. It would still be outrageous if their defense was the weight of the package.

Is there collusion going on as well as fraud?

Redial,

Yes..tik tok.

Unless these videos are AI, the videos are evidence.

Seems to me that's what they found here. Worst case I think it was 5% or something like that for the packaging.
