  • This reminds me of the time my mum found what later turned out to be a slug :eek: in the bottom of a bottle of milk! Luckily it was a glass bottle, and she spotted it before we opened it, otherwise it would bring a whole new meaning to getting a surprise in your cereal!
    She thought it was just a stone, but contacted environmental health, as you don't expect that in your milk from your local milkman.
    Anyway, the farm was shut down, turned out this was the last in a long line of reports about his milk production. One report had been about shards of glass been found in the milk :eek:.
    He was summoned to court but didn't show up, so they shut him down.
    Needless to say we stopped buying milk on the doorstep from then on!
    We didn't get any compensation, but mum did get her name in the papers! (she was fuming though as they got her age wrong in the Sun! They aged her by 2 years!)

    Tesco are beginning to sound a bit like a shop near me once who were still selling REAL christmas trees in February, they needed to get rid of the stock

    Your post reminded of a supermarket, the only one, in a small town in Devon years ago. There was a chicken on the chiller shelf that had no label or date on it at the beginning of our holiday. It was still in the chiller at the end of out 14 days waiting to be sold, it was looking very sad by that point and had changed colour too, I dread to think anyone actually bought it.
    Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p
    It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted:)

    There was a TV show a little while ago that was about ridiculous claims made by manufacturers and apparently the so-called 'scientific' proof that Actimel was good for your gut was all nonsense. Anybody who already had a normal, healthy gut would get no benefit from it whatsoever. :confused: I think it was a Dispatches episode but I could be wrong. ;)


    I saw this documentary too - very interesting - but it did confirm that the products could be of help to people with digestive problems (eg constipation, IBS etc). Personally, they have never been of help to me.

    I find prebiotics (not PRObiotics) are effective.
  • I'm in shock.

    Tesco just tried to kill my mum. :mad:

    (ok, I exaggerate :p) but she's just taken a mouthful of Actimel that we just got back from buying in Tesco, and nearly choked on the spot. The use by date is 28/03/09 ! :eek:

    Disclaimer: I know. Check before you buy/consume.. but .. that's taking the pish.

    I would have been tempted to go back to the store and look on the shelf for more out of date packs - then you have solid evidence to show them while in-store.

    If it's just one rogue pack - they'll probably not believe you (or not want to).

    Hi,

    Bet you didn't know that it is perfectly legal for supermarkets to send some foods back to the manufacturer to be re-dated and re-packaged as new......!


    This discussion may be of some interest:
    http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/discussion/how-to-get-the-best-food-from-your-supermarket/1016259/

    ...it makes virtually any 'best before' date almost irrelevant.

    But this was a use by date not a best before.


    I wouldnt be happy either, but I guess a lot of the remarks are due to the title of the OP
  • Also note that "Bifidus Digestivum", "Bifidus ActiRegularis" and "Bifidus Regularis", commonly found on the bottles, are also trademarked names owned by Danone, and are not scientifically recognised....

    Also reminds of the days when partying all day and night was the norm. Woke up one mornining with a desperate thirst and reached for what I thought was a glass of water and skulled it with relish- turned out to be the straight vodka I was drinking the night before.:eek:
