This could be a hard pill to swallow for General Nutrition Inc., owner of GNC stores. The company owes the state more than $4 million in unclaimed property that belongs to Pennsylvania consumers, vendors and employees.

The money is from uncashed checks, unredeemed gift certificates and credit balances, said Robert P. Casey Jr., who audited General Nutrition Inc.

“By law, companies operating within the Commonwealth must turn over money and property to the state that has gone unclaimed,” Casey said.

The audit revealed that General Nutrition did not have policies to ensure unclaimed property was properly remitted to the state. Casey recommended the company establish procedures to remedy the problems.
