    What a load of tosh which I sent to both Aldi and Lidl, so their legal teams can have a look.

    So you know the posters own experience better than the poster themselves. How odd.

    I would never buy meat from Lidl or Aldi. My own experience is that it isn't stored correctly and they don't care about food safety. I once bought a loaf of bread from Aldi with 5 days life. When I opened it, it was covered in mold. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the meat unrefrigerated.

    My experience is the complete opposite, I've never had a problem with meat (cooked or uncooked) from either place and have been happily using them for years when I am near enough to buy from one.
    Also, I hope you have a decent lawyer, as the statements you make above certainly seem to be libellous.

    Not odd at all, considering the strict controls we have in this country in regards to meat and dairy products.

    You must live in la-la land if you think that "strict controls" means they are applied in every shop all the time.

    No no I live in Scotland, where Lidl sell superb Scottish meat, that in my view is often superior to the other supermarkets.

    You must live down south!

    They were blatantly making up. They even said they would be surprised if they don't even bother keeping it refrigerated. Of course that's a load of rubbish!

    All that poster bought was some bread and now they seem to know everything about how the meat is kept!
