Save Mart Supermarkets, the largest regional grocer in California, has agreed to pay $1.6 million to resolve allegations that it violated state health and safety laws by selling certain products past their expiration or "use by" dates, prosecutors said.
The settlement was announced Friday by the district attorneys of Marin, Solano, Sonoma, San Joaquin, El Dorado and Yolo counties who brought the complaint against the company, which does business as Save Mart, Lucky, Lucky California, FoodMaxx and Max Value Food.
The allegations were related to the sale of expired over-the-counter drugs, infant formula, and baby food past their "use by" date, prosecutors said in a press release.
Save Mart, which neither admitted nor denied liability, was ordered by a Yolo County Superior Court to pay $1,550,000 in civil penalties and costs and $40,000 in restitution to a trust that funds consumer related litigation, prosecutors said.

On Thursday U.S. elected officials, Tribal Nations and community leaders alike celebrated new protections to sacred land and wildlife corridors through the expansion of Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument. U.S. Senator Alex Padilla and U.S. Representative Mike Thompson participated in the expansion ceremony.
The monument was expanded by a presidential proclamation issued by Joe Biden just a few weeks prior, on May 2, which added over 13,000 acres of federal public land to the monument, - almost the size of Manhattan-, in part to protect sacred tribal land within what was formerly the Walker Ridge parcel. The proclamation also returned the Walker Ridge parcel to its original name, "Molok Luyuk", meaning Condor Ridge.
