    Mi Wadi - No Added Sugar Orange Fruit Juice - 2 Litre

    This does have added sugar, and appears to be a squash to be diluted, not a juice. The two bottles I ordered were 'fizzy' when I opened them, so I shan't be using them :(

    There is a link at the bottom of each product to do a review - http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/index.asp?function=CUSTOMERREVIEW&productid=3694 :)

    I tried to do this for the Mi Wadi Orange (see above) but you have to be registered and have a password, and I'm not/don't :(

    I have, just wanted to let others know, especially as the 'reviews' bit of the website wasn't working ;)

    Hi,
    I would like to just answer your question, we do check the quality of the products that we sell and never knowingly let anything leave the warehouse that we do not think is safe to eat. All stock is visually checked and we also taste the products, to ensure that we think they meet certain standards. We will never send anything out that we ourselves would not eat.

    If we do get any complaints or comments from customers about items which are mouldy, or off, we do recheck the products, to determine whether it was a one off, or if it is the whole batch. We take all comments made by customers seriously and follow up on it.

    Thanks
    Dan
    Thanks, I assumed you must have some sort of QC processes.
    I was specifically wondering about stuff that is safe but taste has deteriorated (and therefore you might think you don't like it, when you might like one that was in date iyswim). I am all for stretching the pennies and whoopsies and the like, tbh I have just not seen anything on the site that takes my fancy (yet!).
    Hope it goes well.

    I've had a reply from AF - it looks like they may have two similar lines or a mixed shipment, so I've sent them pics of the Mi Wadi I received, which clearly lists sugar as an added ingredient and Rachel at AF is investigating.

    Can't fault their Customer Service :)

    Caffe Crema - Selezione - Traditional Roasted Coffee - 500g
    Dan is selling this at 2 for £1.50.
    I buy this from Asda for 50p a packet, though it hasn't been in stock at Asda for the last couple of weeks. Maybe Dan's bought it all!
