Anyone else had this recently? I can see there is a post with 36 replies on 'bad meat from Aldi' but it is from 2015 and this site suggests I start a new post.
Gone off chicken - first time ever had this with any supermarket but the chicken in Aldi that should be fresh is way off - made the whole kitchen smell horrible. Sell-by is 29th January and today is the 23rd. We had breaded it too, and also made stock from bones, so lost all that time making it and the eggs et.c - by the time we were done ruined our evening meal. The chicken was free-range, 'specially selected', drum sticks and thighs pack, bought from the new Aldi in Stroud. Rang the general number - person was helpful. Offered a £5 voucher when politely pointing out that we had wasted a lot of other ingredients and had a ruined meal. Also alerted them for sake of other customers to possible food poison from this batch, but I think their 'system' is too slow to warn today's customers - they 'log it on the computer' - if it was me I would ring the branch and get the whole batch off the shelves ASAP (there's no public number for the store) - shows a little complacency perhaps? Also, from previous posts it seems that this might have been going on for at least four years - perhaps something they build in to their costs but at the risk of poisoning their customers.
