I used two packs of mince beef yesterday and they both had less beef than what stated on the packaging. I thought it was because I froze it.

Today I was weighing my food and it’s absolutely clear that what’s written on the
package is not what’s inside it.

Has it ever happened to you? I feel very betrayed as a customer.

As for wasting salmon if I request that the packet contains what it says it does, it’s smoked salmon, not fillets or whole fish. They don’t take a slice of ten gr from another salmon and throw away the salmon to make up ‘my salmon’. Smoked salmon is sold in very thin slices (that are bloody hard to separate!) so it’s possible to do the right thing without wasting any animal.

Even if they had to trim to make it the right weight, food manufacturers don’t throw the trimmings away. They’d get used in smoked salmon mouse or something. Manufacturers don’t waste stuff, they’re supper efficient.

Supper efficient, excellent typo 😂

@Mycatisalwaysangry I worked this out a while ago and I was fuming!!

I realised one day while baking and weighing chocolate that the amount started on a full bar was nowhere near what it was meant to be.

I have two sets of scales so double checked. I then started weighing all sorts from my fridge, and low and behold loads of items were way off.

i felt so robbed!!!
