Yes I do realise it is a very busy store, but on visiting yesterday evening with Krispies and his son I looked at the state of the mushrooms. They were all overripe and past their best. On closer examination I noticed the sell by tickets on the cartons were at best for the 2nd and at worst on the 30th.

I then called over one of the shop workers. She started, "No they are fine. We put the blue punnets out the back and refill them from a bigger hopper, and sometimes forget to change the label."

She also had a male worker with her who was nodding in agreement.

Now this may be the truth. But having spoken to people who have worked on farms I suspect this is not the case. Whilst collecting the mushrooms, they all stated that they but them in large punnets, like the ones I saw.

If this is the case there. Please look at their sell by dates and ask questions. One they make enough profit, and secondly and far more important, I do not want to hear of anyone going down with food poisoning.

Oh you do. I was Badger Farm yesterday.

With their kids size cucumbers in the individual lunchbox bags, though not mushrooms.

30th June dates on them so mentioned to a member of staff who told me they keep them cool? Uh, yeah.

In the end they removed the whole tray.

Sainsburys food is far better in every way, shape and form.

It may be a bit more expensive, but it's worth it.

Just contacted the duty manager. He is now looking into it and gve the usual sort of reply.

I may well go to trading standards though.
