#2I’ve ended up with expired food from physical stores many times in my life. It’s not really a big deal, you just return it or eat it depending on the product.
Same here. It happens. It’s harmless.
If it’s a big deal to you, go to the store and pick things out yourself.

#3On the left panel under "Seller" there is a Amazon.com check box you can use to eliminate third party sellers from the product search. I tend to select sold by Amazon unless the seller is the actual manufacturer of the product, e.g. a candy company selling direct through Amazon.

#4It's astonishing that even multi-billion brands are being tarnished due to Amazon's inadequate and sometimes even dangerous supply chain practices.

And does this really help or are news that Amazon doesn't separate third party sellers from their own stocks just FUD?

You can look at what you're buying from the store before you buy it.

At a physical store you can check in advance if the expiration date has passed or not. You don't get the option to confirm it when you order online, however.

As far as I know this doesn't actually work, because Amazon will comingle goods. That is to say you buy good from A. The warehouse closest to you has the same "item" but it is from B. So they ship you B's item, but mark it from A's inventory and credit A the money.
So even if you order from known good retailers, or Amazon themselves if party B puts bad products into the warehouse you can end up with bad or fake products.

That doesn't work, because Amazon comingles stock. You could still get bad product if the packaging looks the same between Amazon's item and a third party seller's item

That does not mean anything because of commingling of inventory.
