Reduced items - check the date!

by kseersComment Published at 19:3419:343 comments3 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

ON Monday I found myself in town unprepared (had to rush in to have an x-ray), so I popped in to the supermarket to buy a few extras.  For lunch I picked up a lovely salmon mousse, marked down, which I used as a spread on plain bread.  Normally I check the date on things that are marked down to check that we will have time to eat them before they expire - somethings (like milk, yoghurt, fruit) go so quickly in our house it is not an issue.  Didn't check this item as I ate it straight away.  Big mistake!  I felt sick that night, so checked the packaging - on the day it was sold it was already 2 days out of date!  On a fish product!  EEEUUUW!  Can they do that??

I don't think they can do that, but i would take it back and tell them that it made you sick.

Re: Reduced items - check the date!

yuck. i would definately be taking this back and complaining loudly.

i have to say i am a absolute struge but i dont buy marked down stuff unless we are eating it that day and i always check the date. I also never ever ever ever buy fish from coles or wollies as the are frozen. if i want fish i go to either midland (here in Perth) and go to the fish mungar there or drive 45 mins with a freezer bag and go to Freo and get fish there. I know it is straight out of the harbour.
