Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, is allowing expired foods—including baby formula—to be shipped out to customers that order groceries from the Amazon Marketplace, CNBC reported.

Many shoppers use the convenience of Amazon to have groceries shipped straight to their doors. It is a practice that has increased in popularity in the two years since the online giant purchased the Whole Foods grocery chain. However, the complaints of receiving expired or even rotten food items — a risk to consumer health — have been steadily increasing as well.

Ironically, Bezos, the world’s richest man, is at the very same time cutting health benefits for part-time workers at Whole Foods, as Front Page Live previously reported. The move will leave 1,900 people without health insurance.

CNBC reported Sunday that consumers have been shipped spoiled or outdated baby formula, coffee creamer, granola bars, and beef jerky.  Food sellers are contributing to more than half of the total amounts of merchandise sold on the Amazon Marketplace. However, there appears to be little or no accountability for the food merchants.

In fact, it is possible to find some of the Starbuck’s Teavana products available for sale on the site, even though the items have been discontinued for two years.

According to Amazon seller guidelines, food must adhere to shelf-life guidelines. However, it would appear that the company isn’t doing a very good job of enforcing their standards.

So let me get this straight @amazon you deliver expired food but don’t issue a refund? These brownies literally expired last year. 😳 #cantbeserious pic.twitter.com/DhlOC64Bsy

They shipped items to me that required refrigeration in a bubble envelope. Had to throw them out since I didn’t know how long they had been unrefrigerated.

Hey @amazon – just wanted to thank you for sending my daughter @PlumOrganics baby food for my granddaughter that EXPIRED in 12/17. Too busy sucking up to @NRA to check your stock for expired items?
