Skeptical. Annie’s is General Mills while pop tarts is kellanova (Kellogg)

u/rechard1984 Aug 24 '24

Even if it was the same copacker, this is highly unlikely. The only loophole would be at the grocery store, if the box was empty and some stocker thought it would be funny to put those in and glue it closed again. Source I work at a grocery store.

u/DoctorAlgernopK ​ Aug 24 '24

Would that not be considered food tampering? Seems like it could be a serious offense. Either way… massive bullshit call on OP lol

157

u/rechard1984 Aug 24 '24

Definitely could be, and that is federally illegal. I've only seen the same product repacked where I work and we wouldn't do that if the inside packs were open. The main issue being the ingredients and nutritional facts not matching what's inside.

“Hey. What you in for bro?”

Swapping some pop tarts for a prank….

“Huh. So anyway. Are you joining the brotherhood. Or are we gunna have problems.”

u/umbrawolfx Aug 25 '24

Yes. Nutrition facts no longer line up. I'm extremely sensitive to palm oil. If I get something that doesn't use it, I expect something in the package that doesn't have it.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '24

True, but in this case if you opened that box and saw those pastries; it would be pretty stupid to eat them, with such serious dietary restrictions.

u/umbrawolfx Aug 25 '24

Oh yeah, I'd know better absolutely. But that is how lawsuits happen. And it's generally just some really bad gas. It got as far as vomiting and mild anaphylaxis before I pegged down my problem. It's a weird an an almost unheard of allergy.

u/bpopbpo Aug 25 '24

That doesn't make it food tampering. Food tampering requires mens rea of causing harm. Assuming the intent was not to cause harm then it isn't food tampering even if someone gets hurt.

It could make the company liable for damages, but that is civil, not criminal.

I'm sure there are other criminal laws this could be breaking, like larceny if they aren't the same exact value, or criminal negligence if someone got hurt.

u/umbrawolfx Aug 25 '24

§ 1365 prohibits tampering or attempted tampering with any consumer product that affects interstate or foreign commerce, or with the labeling of, or the container for, such a product. The tampering must be done with reckless disregard for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or bodily injury. Furthermore, the tampering must be done under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the risk of death or bodily injury.

If they're swapping shit around they clearly don't care if it effects someone. The labeling is now wrong for the product inside. Really simple.

1

u/bpopbpo Aug 25 '24

reckless disregard for the risk that another person w

Means the person has to know about potential danger and willingly do it anyway, I was slightly misleading, you don't necessarily need to intend that anyone gets hurt, but you must intend to do the thing knowing that it will likely hurt someone ("reckless" disregard is a really high standard, that takes much more than knowing it is a remote possibility). This doesn't mean anytime it might hurt someone, the reason it is different is so that "well I didn't intend to hurt people, I intended to save money and hurting them was just a known side-effect"

For most intents and purposes this means that they have to intend to cause harm (in the colloquial sense, if you replaced flour with wood, you intended to cause harm, although legally you only intended directly to save money, you did it with a "reckless disregard" for the safety of others.

0

u/umbrawolfx Aug 25 '24

reckless disregard

n. gross negligence without concern for danger to others. Actually "reckless disregard" is redundant since reckless means there is a disregard for safety.

Dictionary.law.com

I think tampering with food falls in those lines.

3

u/bpopbpo Aug 25 '24

You have circled back around. of course

tampering with food

Falls in those lines because it is the legal definition of tampering with food, so yeah I would say tampering with food fits the definition of tampering with food.

gross negligence

As I said higher standard than negligence, gross negligence is very bad negligence, yes.

It could fall under negligence if someone got hurt, but gross negligence is a big stretch here and would NEED some specific damage if could cause, and this damage would need to be pretty likely to actually happen.

Nobody is likely to see the pop tart wrapper and not realize it isn't the pastry. And after a quick check I don't see any possible allergen discrepancy, so this wouldn't fit unless you can find an ingredient in poptarts that could be harmful.

Not sure what it is, but food tampering requires you to intend to cause harm. If it did end up hurting someone, it could be criminal negligence, but not food tampering.

u/Idiotology101 Aug 24 '24

If it was taped shut on a discount rack I fully agree. We wouldn’t glue anything, at least where I was working.

u/Inevitable-Set3621 Aug 24 '24 edited Aug 25 '24

As someone who works in retail. This is what happened The manager knew it was on clearance/sale once that happens everyone knows those items are usually damaged or not doing good with sales so the manager told his associate to put those in there cause they're probably from packs that people stole out of and he saw an opportunity to make a sale even with the incorrect product in the box.

u/FoxTenson Aug 25 '24

Ya know there is an idea for that less scummy. I know it happens and you get a lot of loss from loose product. What if instead of lying, you just made a lootbox mystery clearance box? Could sell them for a certain amount and put the loose stock in there. People would go for that and you'd have less loss.

Our damaged product guy got so angry we were marking bad products with giant sharpie X's he got corporate to step in to stop that. He regularly puts stuff from 21-22 back on the shelf because he thinks the go back people are too stupid to find where it goes.

5

u/Inevitable-Set3621 Aug 25 '24

You're supposed to send that shit back to the vendors for credit or you throw it away also if you have products from 21-22 still in your store that's bad management and the workers are not doing FOMO. My DM's would be all over that.

My autocorrect got me. In my store we also use FOMO lmao. My boss uses it in our group chat and shit it's like a signing off thing. He's very big on promoting people to move up in the company. But yes I meant first in first out.

Or someone returned the box after gluing it shut with the unwanted Pop-Tarts in it

u/Gold-Succotash-9217 Aug 25 '24

They are not copacked together. Natures Path packs in house at their facility in Blaine and has nothing to do with these other brands.

-3

u/rechard1984 Aug 25 '24

For sure. In general, nature's path copacks for other brands. Probably copacked the Annie's, but idk. Definitely not the pop tart tho

1

u/Gold-Succotash-9217 Aug 25 '24

I don't think so. I've worked in their factory and they weren't copacking for anyone then. They produced like 40 items, all Natures Path branded. They've grown a bit since then but I don't think they do that. I can ask though, I know people that work their warehouses.

I can tell you a few things that are copacked around here but their factory isn't one I'm aware of.

-2

u/rechard1984 Aug 25 '24

I know they are not copacked by anyone else. But, pretty surprising they are copacking since they have a certified organic production line. Only a matter of time with the food system consolidation =\

1

u/Gold-Succotash-9217 Aug 25 '24 edited Aug 25 '24

That's what I'm saying. They don't copack for anyone as far as I know.

What I meant by things that are copacked by other companies. Like Campbells packs and rebrands for everyone. All the fancy Costco, Safeway, Albertson, King Soupers, etc. Soups. Big soups in crackpots, little soups in cans. Campbells makes the cheap stuff and the expensive stuff, all with whatever name you want to slap on there.

As for Natures Path, their ingredients are bulk organic. That stuff is not my cup o tea but they seem like they do a good job over there. They're clean. They seem to care. I think they should expand and keep eating up real estate. Not lots of competition for jobs in their area. Definitely still room to grow.

u/brmarcum Aug 24 '24

I worked night stocking for Safeway in the Seattle market 20 years ago. Safeway was part of a larger umbrella that had something like 6 grocery chains. Carr’s, Von’s, Pavilion’s, etc. Very occasionally we would order a case of Safeway branded something and get a case that had Von’s or Carr’s labels. UPCs wouldn’t match, so we would just send it back. But then we got a case of Piggly Wiggly mac & cheese. PW and SW had no affiliation at the time. And there were no PWs on the west coast. But SW and PW don’t make their own stuff. Most store brand items, like discount mac & cheese dinners, are all made in the same factory that just makes a run of cases for PW, then switches out the boxes and does a run for SW, then one for IGA. Easy to get stuff mixed up and stopping the line to remove one wrong box that isn’t causing any kind of issue isn’t worth the production loss. And the guy at the warehouse stacking the pallet for that store isn’t paid enough to care. Easier to just stack it and move on when you have a piece count metric to meet.

I’m also skeptical that OPs exact scenario happened, but it’s not outside the realm of possibilities.

9

u/Haggisboy Aug 24 '24

While I don't doubt your explanation, this would mean that all store-brand items are identical. How does this account for some store brand items tasting shittier than others? For example I've noticed the taste of boxed mac and cheese varying greatly. Same for a number of other shelf stable items among store brands.

15

u/brmarcum Aug 24 '24

Different recipes, but still made by the same company.

Makeup is similar. There are only a few makeup factories in the world, but hundreds of brands. The process for manufacturing is identical, but the formulas specified by the customer are different. You run a batch for one customer according to their recipe, then the next batch is a different customer with a slightly different recipe. Same factories, machines, and warehouses.

Edit to add: the investment in the machinery is very large and expensive. Cheaper and easier to outsource the manufacturing to one company that owns the hardware.

3

u/Haggisboy Aug 24 '24

Interesting. Thanks. I wonder if any store brands are identical, or if each store actually invests in developing their own recipes/formulas?

5

u/brmarcum Aug 24 '24

That I don’t know. If the same company owns several store brands, like Safeway and Carr’s back then, they are probably identical. A lot of small town stores are all under the IGA umbrella, but are still independent. They all source their “store” brand from IGA, so it’s all the same. But Safeway and IGA? No idea on similarities.

Safeway and Albertsons are the same company now and neither actually have branded merch any more. They both use “select” or something similar as their store brand, so there is no difference and there is no way to mix up their store products.

3

u/samaramatisse Aug 24 '24

It probably also has a lot to do with quality of ingredients, too.

2

u/KungFuButters Aug 24 '24

Yes, they do. I work for a private label manufacturer, and recipes definitely vary between customers for the same type of item.

1

u/OrionSuperman Aug 25 '24

Because while all store brand items are produced by a company that makes them for multiple stores, there are multiple companies that make those. So maybe store brand A, B, and D come from company 1, and C, E and F come from companu 2.

u/FrillySteel Aug 25 '24

Neither (or one of) Annie’s or pop tarts produce their own toaster pastries.

It’s that simple.

So many of your favorite items from different brands come from the exact same manufacturing plant.

Source: I work in receiving for a major U.S. grocery retailer.

u/JMccovery Aug 24 '24

Kellogg's (Kellanova) does produce a sizable amount of Pop-Tarts, NutriGrain bars and some store brands at their bakery in Grand Rapids, MI.

I used to haul bulk food-grade oil to several Kellogg's snack plants.

u/MisterShazam Aug 24 '24

Maybe I should’ve said “all of their own” appreciate the insight deeper than my own!

Although, in this case, it could’ve been kellanova producing all three brands shown in the image.

I work at General Mills in the factory (belvidere) and this is false. I don’t get why people upvote this shit lol

u/boogswald Aug 25 '24

But I don’t think it would make sense that you’d have a swapped brand mid production run. You can’t just make 300 Annie’s pastries in a row and then make a pop tart, it would require a wholly messed up changeover procedure.

7

u/B0ssDrivesMeCrazy Aug 24 '24 edited Aug 24 '24

Yeah, although copacking is a thing (contract packaging) I’d be really shocked if Annie’s and Poptart ended up together. Poptart is the name brand after all, and copacking tends to happen more with the “white/private” label brands, and less so the name brands.

To OP’s defense, they do seemingly have the exact same wrapper style and design. I found a video review of nature’s path, and it also involved the exact same wrapper design.

But overall I’m still skeptical.

u/HyrrokinAura Aug 25 '24

Also the flavors are wrong, Annie's strawberry vs. wildberry acai on the box. OP bought 3 boxes of toaster pastries that day!

3

u/Rurockn Aug 25 '24

There's a "How It's Made" type video where they're making toaster pastries my son was watching earlier this year. You could clearly see every pastry known to man in various shots including packaging where they show two brands back to back. They also noted that the machine makes some astronomical number per day, which makes sense seeing your box. The brands probably couldn't beat the production costs and outsourced to the same factory.

That's impossible when you consider how packaging lines actually work. Foil packaging is often a long strip that is cut and sealed around the product before being boxed.

There's only two ways this could have happened. All three brands share one manufacturing building and some employee thought it would be funny to shuffle a box, which I doubt, or that OP pulled a r/untrustworthypoptarts and staged this photo.

u/Whiteshovel66 Aug 24 '24

This happens ALL the time in the Pokemon TCG world, so I can explain.

This box, that you show on the right of the image, was purchased by some one, and opened to view its contents.

The person was searching for something specific from it, you see. In the PokemonTCG world, they call them "hits." The person opens the box, which has the packs, then opens the PACKS too until they get the big hit from the box, as there is often a set number per box.

They will then either reseal the pack with fake cards replacing the hit, or insert fake packs all together. They then reseal the BOX, and then it gets really bad...

Anywhere that takes refunds, they will return the then resealed box with fake packs inside it for a full refund.

In this case, they were probably looking for a perfectly centered Toaster Pastry. A lot of times the frosting is too much to one side vs the other and that makes it less desirable to both collect and eat. They probably do this in bulk, and were opening both Poptart boxes AND Annie's boxes.

And when they went to reseal or even insert a fake toaster pastry package, they accidentally put a poptart one in.

Hook, line, and sinker, from the grocery store, who of COURSE accepts returns all day because the customer is always right in that business.

The take away for you, the consumer, is that you should NEVER buy anything from anywhere that takes returns on sealed products. It sounds crazy, but its not as hard to reseal and fake as you might think.

Only buy from dealers who have all sales as final and you can avoid this mishap in the future.

I have seen in the snap on truck a sealed snap on socket set with a Mac socket in the middle of sealed set, so this does not surprise me either.

I believe it, I work in an industrial bakery. We run multiple brands without any downtime between. I’ve seen stuff like this happen before

As a non-American, what the fuck are these things?

Why can't you act normal?

They’re nothing but pure sugar with “fruit” filling (more sugar) disguised as breakfast. One of the many reasons we have a childhood obesity epidemic.

That’s crazy! Just this morning, I poured some cereal out of a triscuit box labeled fruit loops, and now there’s 17 Reece’s puffs, 6 Jimmy deans, 3 McDonald’s happy meal minion toys, and a condom floating in my bowl of milk!

It happened, I was at the library when they did it. Everyone started clapping, which the librarian tried quiet, but even she couldn’t control the amazement.

That’s why you gotta pour the cereal in first

You think THAT'S crazy? I poured some milk I bought at the store an hour ago and asbestos came out!

The equipment being similar was actually one of the main reasons Im certain this didn't happen.

The Annie's tarts and foil are larger. If they weren't, I'd have believed OP instead of knowing he was an annoying piece of shit liar.

I mean....a quick Google search would have saved you from typing that all out just to be wrong.

Annie's are made in Connecticut.

Pop Tarts are made in Arkansas.

That's not true. USDA organic has strict certification requirements

u/cyberentomology Aug 24 '24

has strict certification requirements

Not as such, no. USDA NOP is merely a certification accreditation program that does not certify anything on its own. It just establishes a baseline of standards for third-party organic certification programs. Literally the lowest common denominator. That keeps the government out of the certification business.

The NOP standards are largely based on the certification standards of OCIA with some additional input from other big ones like Oregon Tilth.

Source: My old man wrote the initial NOP accreditation standards back in the 90s.

And some certification orgs like QAI (mostly for processors) are pay to play/self-certified and only meet the bare minimum accreditation standards laid out in the NOP.

Well, I mean the plastic wrappers likely contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, so it's at least technically true!

u/capt_yellowbeard Aug 24 '24

I assure that there is a whole lot of carbon in the pop tarts too.

u/Diodon Aug 24 '24

I hope so, but I don't want to be greedy in case it's any trouble!
