It seems that as long as the items are not &#34;not to be sold separately&#34; and they have individual barcodes, there&#39;s a case for splitting a pack. However, it says nothing of what the actual law says. 2025-03-15T21:26:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyzfj6qcelavqq9334e5sue3f4fh3j2dugx0p2sn6xz6uajwf0tlgzyptu63lfhl9rsex3fd4ext0028urgwej4k9nermjq0xufd4mwltj7l0pwys #UK folks, is it acceptable to break open a pack of something in a supermarket if they don&#39;t sell the item individually, like cans?
