I was surprised to learn that Asda no longer gives out free small bags to put pre-packaged meat and chicken products into when you purchase these there.
How many times do these packaged products leak blood etc. from them.
Surely our health is being put at risk due to this.

    I'm sure you are more than capable of using your own bag.

    Hardly ever. If it does, I wouldn't get that one as its packaging must have been damaged and pierced.

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    I do hope you had gloves on when you picked it up and put it in the trolley..

    Do Asda supply free gloves for this purpose, or are customers expected to provide their own protection? ;)

    If you're that worried just pick up a few from the veg department as you're passing.

    I thought it must have just been up to the check-out girl, some seem to put things in bags and others don't.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    What did you intend to do with it when you got it home?
