Quickie - just off to Tesco to return a cooked chicken that's still raw inside - who do I threaten them with?

[jollyholly]

Is it trading standards?

Thanks

Call trading standards yourself

environmental health I think...

I wouldn't take it back. I would phone the FSA.

Environmental Health.

It's a health issue.

Do you need to threaten them with anyone? Presumably you want money back plus some sort of compensation? What's to say they won't oblige?

I want my money back though - I had to spend nearly £7 on cooked sandwich meat at the garage supermarket so that we'd got something to eat with the veg I cooked last night!

I would contact environmental health before you take it back.
The point of doing that, is to stop the store poisoning people by bad food safety practice, not as a stick to beat compensation out of them

you will get your money back without threatening anything. sheesh.

the story of the cooked sandwich meat will make you sound like a loon.

OK, no need to flame me.

That should have been done to the chicken

Yes, don't tell them you bought stuff from the garage. Just veg wouldn't have killed anyone.

couldnt it have been cooked more in your own oven?

hifi notb he point, they are meant to check their food is cooked all the way throygh (is this from the deli?) and check temps.

Do you need to threaten them? I don't expect that you will have a problem returning it.

What happened?

Sorry, I stayed away incase I was being flamed

The manager at Tesco was absolutely mortified, said he would investigate immediately how it had happened as it's not supposed to be possible.

(And they refunded my purchase plus compensation)

a snooker ball in a sock? Whoops, to late!

too

i would prob still contact enviromental health just in case it happened again

Yes I think I will Mumofmonsters. It's Ok him saying it shouldn't be possible for it to happen - but it did.
