Not only that. It's oftentimes used for cutting with drugs as well.

There is also return scams where they return the stolen items using a discarded receipt or opt for an in store giftcard.

All returns of baby formula are required to be discarded because of the cases of people tampering with the product.

Families are able to apply to get formula for fairly cheap, sometimes free though the use of coupons. The likelihood of a mother stealing formula for herself is extreamly small.
