What is the verb descibing the action when people steal from a supermarket by way of taking a product off the shelf and consuming it while in the supermarket (and putting the wrapping somewhere back on the shelves), without taking it to the cashier at the end and paying for it? I think it may be a slang though. I don't mean "shoplifting", the word I'm looking for is quite specific.

It is called grazing!

To eat food in a grocery store, then not pay for it. Usually done
while legitimately shopping at said store.
I was so hungry by the time I got to Stop & Shop, I ended up grazing a
bit--I had an apple, some Fritos, and a chocolate milk.

Theft is the action described in the question. There are different theft processes but they are result in the unauthorized taking of property.
