Last night's episode of Checkpoint left Twitter shocked after  investigations revealed the alleged fraud taking place in the food industry, indicating that people have been buying "expired" food from stores without knowing.

The eNCA investigative show proved that there are food producers deliberately changing or removing ‘best before’ labels on food products to replace them with later dates. 

Twitter reacted with memes showing their concern and disgust at the illegal practice.
