Brodies Responds to Running W Over $320 Smoked Ham Leg
Earlier today, Running W Brand posted on its Facebook page a statement in which it acknowledged a photo circulating on social media that features one of their products. The company said that while the item in question is a Running W product, it has exceeded its shelf life. It added that the price and mark-up shown in the photo do not reflect the company’s retail pricing.
The image quickly circulated social media and triggered widespread discussion about prices and product quality in Belize with one user saying, “With the price of ham these days I might continue with Hudut all through Christmas.” The ham was priced at $17.95 per pound, making the total cost of the Smoked Ham Leg $320.41.
This particular ham was sold by Brodies, which also took to Facebook to respond to Running W Brand’s post. Brodies said that the product did not exceed its shelf life and that the pricing was accurate at the time of stocking. “We are aware of a social media post claiming that a product sold at our stores exceeded its shelf life and displayed incorrect pricing. We would like to clarify that the product in question did not exceed its shelf life. The pricing on the tags accurately reflected the price at the time of ordering and stocking.”
Running W Brands Meats also said, “We encourage all our valued customers to always check the “Best By” date on our products to ensure freshness and quality.”
