Whistleblower - Sainsburys and Tesco ON NOW!!

[cleaninglady]

anyone who shops at either may be interested in this programme.....

Why don't more people get sick I wonder. I wonder if we have cast iron stomachs.

Why don't environmental health do undercover work like the journalists. I used to do undercover obs (although it didn't have such a posh name) in enforcement so I know it can be done and it is the single most effective way to establish facts ime.

people dont get sick because it doesnt actually matter if your food is a couple of days over the sell-by date

this is such a non-story

aww
but we're enjoyihgn it

Enis how many days out of date do you think does matter? Why do you think we have use by/sell by/best before dates?

but the programme wasnt just about sell by dates..

sniff it

do you think the meat knows what the sell by date says on the label?

why dont apples on the shelf have a sell by date but ones in bags do?

tis all bolleaux

they cover themselves legally with the dates... they obv leave ia bit of a margin or theyd be sued every other day.
once on or after use by date, you should use your powers of detection to see if still good. if in doubt, chuck it out, esp if pg or summat./ but best by dates are rarely a signal for the item to go into instant meltdown...
common sense needed. now and then. like in most of life really

having agreed with enid, i clicked on yr profile . v disapointing for my nosy self...

why!!

theres nowt there!
i want to nose about and read what you say about yourself, but theres nowt!

s'ok tho - you may tell me about yourself now

I am 40 with three beyewtiful gurls

am lovely but very misunderstood

oh god, me too. apart from the 4 and the girls... shallw e start a (v exclusive) clique for misunderstood lovlinesses

in what way understood? people think you are monstrous? (when in fact...)
i think i have opp prob. people think im lovely when in fact...

Watched film, and agree with Enid. 6 months undercover, two of them, so 1 years worth of "intimate" daily observations, and that is the best they can come up with?? Not nice, but not "shocking" either!! Can image that with having invested so much expense into it, they had to show something for us to be ed by.....

and the presenter.....OTT on the 'pimp my horror'.....

one good thing..it's probably safer to by fresh food from these places in he next 3 months than it EVER has been..

indeed MrM (i had big fat steaks for dinner v often in the immediate wake of the BSE scandal errupting... they been feeding it to us for 10 yrs already, stopping then would have been pointless!!)

So I have a dreadful sense of smell and one day DP walked into the kitchen and found the room reeking of rotten meat that I was merrily cooking (within date). I have had MRI scan and everything but my poor sense of smell is a mystery especially as I can smell things others can't like damp.

Anyway I rely on dates more than most I guess. It gives me some indication when my nose clearly doesn't. We know we are in trouble if I can smell rotten meat.

lol dros.
maybe you were an undertaker in your last life?

Intersting thought. I have some steroid spray somewhere to try but keep forgetting to.

LOL and LOL again at 'pimp my horror'!

I missed it, apart form the last bit from the over-heating mincer...is the hummous dodgy? And what did they do with curry?

steroids for you sense of smell?? whoa.

You know a nasal spray thingy

Curry? Over-seasoned it, Blu. The bastards..

and the guy atthe end, the 'rolled-out' specialist, had all the markings of "A Doctor Writes.."...>

and what of the working lives of those workers i.d.ed? Why not show nice big photos of the senior managers or store managers?? they are all plastered on the store walls....

ho hum...

well, i can imagine. i never had any probs smelling tho, so no experience of that. (mores the pity, i come from av flatulant family)

Blu, they showed film of the filthy toilets covered with shitty bum wipes on the floor. These were being walked on by non-hand-washing cooks who then used dirty buckets (lifted with piss splattered hands) from the same shitty floor and dunked into the curry vat.

Yummy.

outragious behaviour and down to lazy staff IMHO. I worked as a waitress about 15 years ago and no way would I compromise health and safety for the sake of anything. Saying that, I was probably the only one to adhere to the rules. I just used to feel, what if it were ME or MY FAMILY eating here, how would I want it to be.

Thank god I no longer eat supermarket curry since spotting on the label the chicken was from either Argentina or Thailand. [bleugh] I also haven't eaten supermaket meat for yonks, sice being lured into the butcher and having 'proper' meat. But we have just the last few weeks had ham from the deli counter. [yuck]
