Expired food remained on shelves
Check your cart: Certain food items may still be up for grabs months after their "sell by" date
Andrea Fisher
Staff Writer
Students at UNCG may be purchasing expired
food products at any of the three convenience
stores here on campus. Until confronted, workers
at these locations had neglected to pull "shelf-sta-ble"
goods from their inventory, even though the
products were well beyond their sell by dates.
At all three food marts — particularly, the one
located in the Spring Garden Apartments — ex-pired
foods have remained on the shelves for an
extended duration. All were static, stale and com-pletely
available for consumption.
Surprisingly, students should not be concerned
with the meats and dairy sold; rather they should
be on guard towards the quality of the health
snacks, such as Odwalla Food Bars and Kellogg's
Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars.
Four out of the nine supplied Odwalla Bar
flavors that were available in the Spring Garden
Apartments store should have been consumed
between Nov. 27 and Dec. 24 2006. Carrot Rai-sin,
Peanut Crunch, and Cranberry C Monster
were among those flavors. All of the Raspberry
flavored Nutri-Grain bars expired Sept. 19, 2006.
Other minor items in the EUC store and C-Store
locations were also found beyond their listed "use
by" dates, they included: Coca Puffs milk 'n Ce-real
Bars, more Odwalla Bars, and several cans of
Campbell's Spaghetti.
The benefits of consuming health foods dimin-ish
when these items have become expired and, as
a result, have lost their nutritional value.
"The manufacture code on our packages in-dicates
the date that the product should be con-sumed
by to ensure that it meets our high qual-ity
standards," stated Jill Saletta, the Director of
Communications & Public Relations of Kellogg
Company. "After this date, the product is still safe
to eat, but the vitamin and mineral levels may de-cline
and you may notice a change in texture or

Students, statistics attest
to diversity at UNCG
Janine Camara
Staff Writer
It's a fact. UNCG is the most
diverse of the UNC systems pre-dominantly
white schools.
Its high rates of minority re-tention
were highlighted during
a WUNC radio show and won
Chancellor Sullivan an award for
distinguished Citizenship from
the Greensboro Chamber of
Commerce.
In the wake of the Jan. 20 phys-ical
altercation between Palestin-ian
college students and football
players on Guilford College's
campus, the question has been
raised on whether diversity is a
stepping stone or a stumbling
block.
"I really believe that in the end
[diversity] helps us," said sopho-more
Jeremy Beane, who felt that
the altercation looked like a hate
crime, though it is too soon to de-termine
the incident's true nature
according to a FAQ page about
the incident posted on Guilford
College's website.
"I don't think diversity is ever a
problem, I think people ignoring
it or not accepting it is a prob-lem,"
said junior Kia Davis.
"I really appreciate the Neo-
Black Society and Gospel Choir,"
Davis added. "I don't go home
often, I don't go to church often,
and they remind me of home and
those things that I miss about
home."
"Personally I can't live without
diversity," said junior Techeey-aw
Anderson, a Chicago native
who attributed her apprecia-tion
of diversity the entire city's
demographics.
"[Diversity] is applied to ev-erything,"
continued Anderson,
a senior International Business
Studies major. "When you invest
in stocks and bonds, what do they
tell you? Diversify your bonds, di-versify
your stocks."
Erika Fox, a junior commuter
student, said that diversity could
be both good and bad.
