I mentioned to Options that their white choc single serve sachets didn't mix properly (has only happened with a few from the same batch - others have been fine) and they kindly sent me a few money off vouchers. Their customer service is great.

Can I just ask for advice? Basically I bought some sweetcorn today [sainsburys ones], and found a piece of plastic in it. I want to complain about it and still have the can so can easily quote any batch number or whatever, but I just recently made a complaint about some eggs that I bought to which they replied that they'll be sending me a £5 giftcard. I don't usually like complaining alot, but the plastic inside is more serious than the eggs from recently. Eugh, was terrible. I don't know if I should complain though as I don't want them thinking that I'm just after more free vouchers/giftcards.

What do you think I should do?

Why not take it into store & complain at customer services. I think they normally give you double your money back.

Thanks. I'll do this tomorrow and see what they say. If nothing is done, I'll write them an email. I don't like thinking that the next sweetcorn I buy might end up having some plastic in it too.

Make sure you don't give it to them without taking pictures first.
I'f sainsburys doesnt do anything, you may want to contact enviromental health.
Without proof, they cant do anything.

Over the last couple of weeks I have tried to get some free samples from the companies mentioned. I have only recieved one £2 voucher from Andrex so I highly recommend just dropping them an email of gratitude, not mentioning vouchers! Thnaks to the creator of the board as I really enjoyed thinking of my favourite brands and writing to them
