Lidl complaint: OUT OF DATE MUSTARD AND PROBLEM WITH WHOLEMEAL BREAD

My husband bought four jars of English mustard last Sunday in our local store as I was doing a lot of dishes with mustard in them. I used half of one jar on one of my dishes and thought it odd after putting it into my dishes that it didn’t have the strong smell that mustard usually has. I looked at the lid and discovered that on the four jars that the best before dates were on each of them March 2021, which explained why that there wasn’t a strong smell of the mustard.

I couldn’t believe it as this wasn’t one jar, there were four jars, that were out of date. Unfortunately I had used the mustard in my burgers but I didnt eat one and we ended up throwing out half of them which was a terrible waste of food not to mention time and energy which I am in short supply of. As well as a family of 5, I also help toncare for my Father who has Dementia while my Mother is on dialysis and I have a baby Granddaughter whom I also help out with, so have enough to do. My husband went back with the jars of mustard and the Staff were surprised. This certainly wasnt the first time that I have bought out of date products in that Store, but I really feel that it’s time to bring it to your attention.

The previous week I purchased deluxe Wholemeal bread there and the imprint of the best before date was on the heel of bread, which I couldn’t believe and again threw out the loaf of bread.I really feel that there should be stricter checks on what is being put on their shelves or otherwise someone could get seriously ill.
