Japan's franchise store Lawson Inc. admitted recently that two of its convenience stores had systematically falsified expiration times on some food items prepared in the stores.
The well-known company, which operates around 14,000 convenience stores in Japan and also in some Chinese cities, closed the two stores after discovering the misconduct carried over a period of more than two years.
We deeply apologise for having caused serious inconvenience to our customers, Lawson said in a statement.
