I worked in a few food places when I was young, really puts you off buying anything packaged. You think, something like a pizza has many ingredients, each ingredient comes from a different supplier, there's so many places for skank to get in to your pizza or anything it's unreal!

Actually, a bloke I knew worked for a bread factory, someone threw up in the bread mix , they just carried on as normal. Girlfriend worked in a sandwich place for petrol stations, most of the people there were 16 and under paid, you can imagine what went on... I still can't touch garage sandwiches and if I have too have select ginsters and even then, pull the top off to have a look, make sure there are no food related land mines.

I worked in a meat department in a supermarket for a few weeks and staff would flob in the mince ,pick scraps of the floor and put it in ,walk over frozen trays of meat .
 
my mum used to work on the delly (however its spelt) at a supermarket, and she said that the other girls working there, would just change the dates on things, so people didnt know it was out of date, and any out of date meat was just used to make mince.

this was only about 2 years ago aswell.
 
Found a blue bristle inside a Haribo cola bottle once.

Sent a letter and the offending cola bottle back and about 2 weeks later I
collected a big box from the PO with around 20 packets of Haribo's finest and a
letter of explanation.

Happy days !!

Yeah that seems to be common pratice ,also they would open meat packs and turn them over to make them look fresh ,if they started to smell they would cover them in a season of some kind !
When the cheese went mouldy they would just cut the mouldy bits off .
Stick to fruit and veg :D
 
Once, we got a packet of maltesers that had no biscuit/wafer inside. Half of them were solid chocolate - we complained and got £20's worth of other Nestle goodies (this was 10 years ago too)

you just reminded me of a horrible article i read in the paper about 6 years ago about some kind of spider (probably called banana spider) who's eggs are laid inside bunches of bananas, they looked the size of my hand, were about the size of a spider crab

i hate you :(

Found a dead wasp in some After Eights afew years back. GOT A REPLACEMENT AND A FREE BOX!!...Thought it was a pretty good deal, I like After Eights :p Good Day.
 
I cracked a tooth in half eating Sainsburys sausages, cost me £80 in emergency dental work. Haven't eaten them since

Didn't think about complaining though - didn't think they'd just take my word for it. Ho Hum, I'll claim I found a used condom in a loaf of bread or something....

why did they give you a replacement wasp!? one wasp is enough, doesn't matter if it's alive OR dead!

Indeed, thats what I was thinking. Just go and find a maggot or something, get one from a fishing tackle shop if needed, stick it inside *insert food item here* and complain. Repeat using whatever food items you like, going around all the supermarkets in the area.
 
My girlriends mum Wrote a letter and complaned that a couple of her Salada biscuts were broken and they send her a $5 cheque :D
 
Didn't expect so many stories :o They said in the letter that the plastic was from the storage container or something.
 
i might be part of the reason smarties now have those plastic seals round the tops :(

we bought a multipack and the smarties had spilled out all inside the plastic wrapper after a lid had fallen off , my grandma complained :p we got sent a shedload of smarties

a fews months later they started coming with those seals on. guess it happened to loads of people
