have you got the receipt? if so - take them back, they'll swap them for you or refund you.
What else where you expecting?

Hi,

My partner bought some baby food that was out of date. She took it back to tesco, complained to the manager and gave her a £10 voucher for the trouble.

I would do the same.

i work at tesco on customer services. you can take them back for a refund (with receipt) or exchange them without receipt. previous comment about getting a £10 gift voucher is not guarenteed. its at the managers discretion. you would need to ask to speak to a manager but even then as a said its not guarenteed.

I would phone your local trading standards office 1st to see if they would like to investigate.
I believe these supermarkets should compensate you when this happens, traveling cost, etc as if trading standards do a spot check the fine for them will be far greater.

I agree, shops should not sell out of date items and would get fined highly by trading standards if it is found out. i would certainly find out the situation from TS before going back to Tesco.

Thats really poor merchandising too.

Vitamins & Medicines were re-merchandised about 5 weeks back and dates should have been looked at then.

when i worked in morrisons we got told a store can be fined £10,000 for EACH out of date item they find.

speak to the manager get yourself a voucher

remember tho its not illegal to sell a product past best before date unless its not fit for consumption which i suspect will be on them. Selling past a use by date is a different matter.......................
