They didn't bleach it. They would take meat that was expired, cover it in BBQ and package it as new.
In fairness, I think it only happened at one store and the employees responsible were fired as soon as Food Lion found out about it. In fact, Food Lion won the lawsuit (I think it was against ABC's PrimeTime Live, not NBC's Dateline), claiming that they were lied to by the ABC employee and hired him/her under false pretenses. If you notice, you don't see those hidden camera shows anymore because of it. Small victory, but, yes, Food Lion has never fully recovered from the bad press.
