Lidl Greek yogurt, mouldy for sixth time never buying again

I love this yogurt and eat it everyday, but the last few months on several occasions it's either been unavailable or I've bought it and discovered mould. For one reason and another I haven't had the chance to go back to the store with it which is 6 miles away. This time I am going back though will still have to wait as car is off the road waiting for a spare part.

Has anyone else had this? Today was the last straw. I was slightly suspicious as there was a little amount of yellow around the exterior rim but inside looked fine. Dolloped it on my breakfast, licked the spoon and spat it out so disgusting.

I know I'm unreasonable for not complaining previously, but am I unreasonable for stopping assuming they must have sorted out this quality-control and deciding never to buy it again and it putting me off trusting Lidl completely now.

I also think this must be a local issue - I eat an indecent amount of that yoghurt and I've never once had a problem with it.

Next time take a Tupperware box, Peel back the lid at the checkout/packing atea and check for mould.
If ok, pop into box to avoid spillage & off you go.
I eat it regularly. Never an issue.

Going off piste …
I’ve also eaten a fruit yoghurt 3 months past its use by date. No mould, tasted absolutely fine. No bad after affects either.

I would think its a storage error in your local branch. I would email the store manager.
