County to expand undercover meat buy program
San Diego officials will boost undercover purchasing of meats fish and cheese from markets and delis countywide in July. The weights and measures unit began in April with 130 purchases across 58 shops reporting overcharges 30 percent of the time and 24 percent on a May check. One pork chop was $3.35 versus $2.84 expected and a rural delicatessen charged 21 cents too much for a dill pickle.
