Many different things:
repackaging fresh meat with a NEW expiration date
slip and falls by failure to keep produce aisle clean and clear
and for outside areas:
A business that invites customers to use its facilities (whether these be inside or outside the premises) has a duty to ensure their safety. This duty is strict and if there is an accident, businesses will be tested on whether their actions were reasonable or appropriate.
If there is a cold spell and snow or ice forms in an area such as the car park then there is a duty to make the area safe. Customers should be able to walk safely to and from the shop / business and back to their vehicle. All vehicles should in turn be able to arrive and depart without risking an accident.
This means that the car park and walkways need to be "reasonably" free of ice and snow. It is the duty of the supermarket, shop or business to grit the area, remove snow and ensure the safety of their customers.
If they fail to do this then they may be liable. You must look at whether reasonable steps have been taken under the circumstances.

Malpractice is a legal term that applies to professions like medicine, law, etc. I've never heard it used to describe activities in a supermarket.
Miranda's examples are all examples of negligence, not malpractice.
