Sainsburys write them off then bin them. I know as that's where I work.
I'll elaborate on this more.
No it cant be sold not even to staff as this is illegal, it gets written off with a handset as ooc (out of code) and put in a meat bin (stored in our freezer at work otherwise the meat starts to stink when it gets warm, obviously when frozen it doesn't) then a guy comes along in a van and empty's the bin for us and takes the meat away, where it goes from there I don't know.

If it's gone past the use by date then it gets binned. It cannot be sold at all. If it goes past the best before date then it can be sold on, hence why corner shops sell stale crisps. Un-used food that's gone off goes to landfill. What a wonderful world we live in, how resourceful are we that we are so paranoid of a mouldy piece of fruit that anything that's a few days off going bad gets dumped in the ground

I use my good old fasioned sense of smell to tell if food is off, Il more than happily eat food that is well out of date if it smells ok, its fine once cooked anyway.
one of my uncles was a "freegan" for a while, used to jump over the fence of his local supermarkets and rob all fruit and veg and bread ect out of the baskets ready for the skip lorrys

I know that all left over mcdonalds meat (before it gets sent to the store obviously) goes to M&S for all their meat products. Found that quite backwards really.
