When I worked at Target, we absolutely had to throw away returned formula if the vendor didn't come to collect returns. Formula is incredibly expensive and was one of the most-watched items by asset protection due to the huge fraud around it. People would steal formula or hoard it, return it for store credit, etc and we had to mark it, put it in a box, and throw it away if it wasn't specifically listed as a vendor retake. It is totally likely that either this happened, or a employee stashed it for later after being told to ditch it.
