I don't think so, it suppose to be in it's originally sealed packaging. I would not purchase anything out of it's original package for safety.

There's already bulk food stores where you can get stuff like cereal and cookies from large bins. Just fill one of the plastic bags they have available.

They already do and its called buying in bulk in the bins. However this is very unsanitary. It was very popular from mid 80's to late 90's. Because of health issues they stoped. Those who still do are regulated to the teeth not to make it worthwhile. Besides, I wouldn't want to buy stuff everyone has touched or breathed on either. Not in todays world.

No. Here's the history: in 1980, some nutcase started buying up tylenol, spiking it with cyanide, repackaging it, and slipping it back into the stores.

No There is to much information on the labeling ,nutritional info, UPC codes, that kind of stuff . Plus the company that produced in would not allow it.

Lots of places do that - food co-ops and organic food places. It flies in the face of branding, however. Think of the poor corporations!

No they can not. The boxes normally contain the nutrional information and ingredients on the box.
Why are you asking anyway?

It wouldn't be very hygenic.And would you want a stranger always opening your food to change the package.What reason is there for it anyway?

yea, they just look at something that isnt or is realy selling, then adjust the recipe a little bit then but on a cover on it and sell it.

Perhaps if it was damaged and sold at a discount.
