Can a store legally sell sugar that is hard?
I work in a grocery store, and a lady was complaining that our sugar was hard. I told her it was all we had until more came in, so i didnt want to throw it out until i got more in. And she was trying to tell me that it was against fda refulations to sell it like that. Btw, it was not rock hard, just harder than the usual batch we get in. I did a search, but came up short. Anyone have any idea if she was right legally speaking?

no. the FDA has no issue with selling hard sugar. especially not only semi-hard sugar. the exception being that if you guarantee that it is soft, grainy sugar.

There are some kinds of specialty sugar that are so hard that you can't use them until you grate them, and trust me, it's way harder than grating cheese. Now, if a bag of granulated sugar was so hard that it appeared to have been damp, that would be different than a bag that had merely settled a lot. I don't which one the bag of sugar in question was.

Hard sugar just means moisture content is low. There are no FDA regs, lady is full of ****.

no, people who go to the grocery store and say "it's the law" generally don't know ****

How funny. The law is she can buy it or not based on her own judgement.
