Meat which has gone off

Ironically this was posted on the Shop but don't drop board.

Perhaps more a case of Shop and drop (dead through poisoning).......

I had a problem with meat that didn't smell to good when I opened the packing that I had bought it from Waitrose. They gave me back double the cost of it, no quibbles.

what customers dont realise is food factorys redate food all the time .Well when the vet is not watching . So if you buy beef or chicken it could be weeks old .You cant tell .Its my job to redate beef when the vets not watching .

You cannot post such an open statement! Not all places do this. I worked in a meat factory and this never happened.

This could be just where you work.

Nasty business, but I have to say in busy supermarkets how many times have you seen people just dump frozen/chilled on the nearest shelf and walk off. I NEVER EVER buy from the front or top of display, I always rummage around for the very cold stuff.

Also when ever I buy a Joint of Meat or Poultry on the morning I am going to cook it I leave it in a covered bowl in clean water with some salt added. The only supermarket I have had problems with has been Tesco, with stuff that was delivered out of date, and complaint procedure was a joke.

I had chicken breasts from Asda last Autumn that were within the date and kept in my fridge until opening but smelt putrid, stunk the whole house out when opened. I binned it and just took the wrapper back. They refunded it and gave me £2 I think it was for my trouble. Put us off chicken for ages. We only have one butcher left in town now and it's over £3 to park so I don't go down there very often.

took a joint back to Asda, it was off but in use by date. was about £8 worth.
They gave me the £8 back in cash and said pick £8 worth of meet.
On Adsa own brand they will give back 200% even if you dont like it i think.
Says something about it on the packet.
