Supermarket juice for kids - 4 months out of date!

mattyprice4004

Calling BS on it making your son ill - the carton would have been badly swollen for this to happen.

Also, 4 months wouldn't have been long enough.

4. Ignore the posters who will turn up on here claiming it can't have been the juice that made him ill.

Juice could certainly make someone ill.

However, for it to make someone so ill they projectile vomit within 30 seconds it would have to be highly toxic.

Not only that but toxic in such a weird way that it had no ill effect at all other than a single episode of vomiting.

All in all, highly unlikely.

what exactly do you want op? are you expecting tesco to pay off your mortgage?

work like the rest of us and stop trying to exploit your kids taste buds!

the juice probably tasted bad but does this warrant a law suit?

by the way here's your good Samaritan award for warning us all about toxic juice

Re. the 30 seconds thing people please go back and read the OP again. Nowhere does it say the sprog spewed after 30 seconds. Sprog was fed prior to going for meal. The 30 seconds refers to the adults meals being served.

Exactly what I was going to say.

I still don't believe it was the out of date aspect that caused it though. Probably more a reaction to the product itself - I suspect the child has never had this product before.

Also interesting that we get "a well known supermarket" at the start of the post then "Tesco" at the end.

was kind of fruit juice was this?

eg made from concentrate and pastuerised or fresh and not pastuerised?

As its got a BBE I am going with carton.

Has your son ever drank the same juice or eaten similar foods to the one you had at your meal?

This is totally unnecessary hype and actually angers me.

There are children in third world countries consuming contaminated water and actually dying and you complain about juice that has been tested, standardized and will certainly meet health and safety standards, even after the best before?

Best before literally means BEST before. Not 'poisonous after'.

I very much doubt juice is going to cause such a reaction. it is JUICE after all - not acid.

However, im sorry that your son was poorly - its horrid when children get sick.

Id have thought it was much more likely that your son was sensitive to something in the juice to get such a reaction.

Utterly irrelevant. The fact 'it could be worse' is no defence, and applies to every post on these boards.

It doesn't remain fit for consumption indefinitely though. At some point it's going to have an effect on whoever drinks it.

It's amazing the number of food scientists on here who can tell the drink was perfectly safe to consume, despite not having any clue what state it actually was in.

Hence I reiterate my earlier advice: seek expert legal assistance. Only they will be able to help.
