So by extrapolation does that mean that something without the red tractor has been produced in a manner NOT adhering to minimum standards? And if so why is it allowed to be sold? Or is it like checkatrade - a meaningless con where producers pay to use a logo to dupe the innocent consumer??sammyjammy said:

Some great buys from Aldi recently
- Pineapple and Passionfruit, and Ginger and Rhubarb cider (Specially Selected range). These tasted fantastic, and I'm definitely going to get a small supply in, in case they stop selling them.
- Sesame oil. Not something Aldi have in regularly (a middle aisle product), but a fair bit cheaper than the other supermarkets
- Specially Selected Stone Oven Breadsticks (6 pack) - Not something I've ever seen sold in other supermarkets. Like thin ciabattas. Something for the freezer, I think.

Spotted this by the till in Aldi this morning.
I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.5 -
I like it
Just the thought of demagnetizing eyebrows with those tweezers!
(or maybe someone naughty has used the tweezers for something else and they no longer work!!)
I have scissors that now pick up pins- not what I wanted......Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Aldi "Bramwells" Salad Cream now back in my local store after having been absent for several months.1
-
Fruit Gums are back in Aldi, now vegan like the real version but they are so inferior to what they were before. Tasteless and hard (but not in a normal fruit Gums way).
Also the BBQ sauce which I've not had a for a while seems sickly sweet. Not sure if the supplier has changed.2 -
Looks like the melt in the middle fishcakes have changed- can't see the salmon ones anymore
BIG bonus: our Aldi have a soft plastics recycling bin in the doorway. Much neededBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
