Indeed. And it's what I'm experiencing, too.
Gn2Dland, I don't think this as anything to do with companies faking expiration dates. This topic came up because I noticed food spoiling quickly after purchase; particularly things that I used to use up over the course of weeks. Only then did I start checking expiration dates, which, sure enough, had passed more quickly than they used to.
I think the lack of deliveries could explain it - but, perhaps they need to order LESS STOCK because when they're selling sour cream that has already passed its date, even though it will last awhile longer than its date, I STILL can't use it all before it starts to go fuzzy.
We eat mostly fresh foods. Hardly anything from a can. No meat, only salmon, and I'm not having a problem with that. So far, we're only having this problem with dairy (fat free yogurt, fat free sour cream, skim milk) and bread (pita, low-carb tortillas, and english muffins.) We don't buy fruit or vegetables from grocery stores - I shudder to think how quickly THOSE would go bad!
