Tesco sold 2.5 years old expired product

[forum4us]

Hi everyone

 

I ordered some grocery from Tesco online this week and received 2 packets of expired Maggi. The Maggi was expired in Aug 2010 which they sell in 2013:-x !!??? I wonder don't they check their products at all before selling? If anyone at home had eaten these 2.5 years old expired product, some serious/non-serious health issues might have occurred

 

..and this wasn't the first time , once from store i bought veg patty(clearly labelled as vegetarian) and found non-veg patty inside after taking a bite, since i don't eat non-veg i exchanged it with same price sandwich.

 

Through this forum, I thought to share it with all consumers with intention to increase awareness. I intend to return these products but do you think one should take any action? if yes, then what action...that reduces their negligence?

I would put a complaint in. Unacceptable.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

 

 

They need to be told so they can remove the rest. I was sold out of date coffee (by 6 months) and received some vouchers. Didnt complain to get anything from it but just wanted them to know that they needed to check their stock.

BTW most sealed products that are past their sell by date will still be okay. In 2005 my father was eating Fray Bentos corned beef he had bought about 20 years previous and suffered no ill effects.

Items in tins do tend to last much longer as they are sealed air tight. Packages however have air in the packet which can spoil in time. Coffee goes off if not vacuum sealed and can cause health problems if consumed.

 

Im not certain what effect Maggi's products would cause after it being out of date for so long.
