We sincerely apologise.” A Japanese convenience store chain has suspended the sale of rice balls, or onigiri, and other deli items at 1,600 stores after it found that staff had faked their expiry dates.

Staff at some stores extended expiry dates by not sticking labels on the dishes until an hour or two after they were prepared. Others relabelled the items with false dates after they were put on sale, Ministop found.

The chain has paused onigiri sales at most of its outlets since 9 August, and on Monday extended the pause to other deli items, for an "emergency investigation".
