La Opinion cited a study led by SPPD Teaching Associate Professor LaVonna Lewis which found that one in three grocery stores in low-income Los Angeles neighborhoods often sell expired food. Over the course of a year, data was collected during regular visits to supermarkets. In 18 percent of purchases, three products were found unfit for human consumption. We try to give people access to healthy food, and quality food can be found no matter what part of the city a person lives in, Lewis said.
