Walmart Under Fire Again Over Alleged Mislabeling of Meat Products
A recent social media post has reignited accusations of Walmart mislabeling the weight of its meat products, sparking a heated online debate. A video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a package of chicken breasts labeled as weighing 6.39 pounds but registering significantly less on a scale. The post’s author claims “Americans are being outright robbed,” and the video quickly garnered thousands of responses, with many users sharing similar experiences.
This latest incident comes as Walmart faces a class-action lawsuit alleging the company overcharged customers by inflating the weight of meat, poultry, pork, seafood, and bagged citrus products. The lawsuit claims this practice resulted in customers paying more than the advertised price.
While many online commenters echoed the accusations of unfair pricing, others came to Walmart’s defense. One user argued that Walmart has strict standards and that employees would be fired for mislabeling products.
Another questioned why shoppers buy groceries at Walmart in the first place, suggesting that using sales and coupons at traditional grocery stores is a more cost-effective strategy. This prompted a response from another user who insisted that Walmart’s chicken prices are unbeatable, even compared to other major supermarket chains.
The debate continues as consumers weigh in on the ongoing controversy.
