SAN DIEGO -- The grocery strike is quickly approaching a week long standoff between employers and grocery clerks.

Support for the grocery strike continues as it moves into the seventh day.

Inside the stores the strike is taking a toll.

A look around an East County Albertsons shows non-striking workers and new-hires are not, or cannot, keep up.

10News found produce that had gone bad and dairy and meat products kept past their expiration dates.

Those on strike say the findings are unacceptable.

"To see what I saw in your purchase today, our customers don't deserve that. We are trained and skilled and that is what we do," said Karen Lewis an Albertsons grocery clerk.

10News found organic broccoli that was turning yellow, children's yogurt past a seven day expiration label, and meat that was turning colors.

10News spoke to a produce clerk and a meat manager who did not want to be identified.

"Those [meat products] looked like they should have been pulled at least two days ago. They are green and limy," said a striking meat manager.

"If they want to sell [these items] to the customers then they are jeopardizing customers' health, that's what they are doing," an anonymous produce clerk said.

When the spoiled products were brought to the attention of the Albertsons store manager, an apology and a refund were offered.
