Asda

my mum was in my local asda today, and was buying some baby food. the woman who served her told her to always check dates of the products in asda. she told my mum that her friend bought tins of cat food from there that was 2 years out of date! her cat got very sick very fast, and was on deaths door. lucky she managed to take her cat home, back to health with a £250 vet bill.

she said they are bad with dates, this might just be my local asda im not sure. just wanted to let everyone know if they are getting dog or cat food from asda, check the dates.

Thank you. I only ever get 'treats' from there but it is good to be aware of these things. Poor , poor cat.

Thanks for letting us know

I always get the stuff from the back, and I always check the date on the item.

Glad the cat was OK x

2 years is just atrocious.

I work in the pet trade and yes, despite frequent checking of sell by dates, you'll occasionally find an out of date bag of food on the shelf. But 2 years is just ridiculous. Poor puss! I'd be sending a letter of complaint.

same here, i usually just get jake his puppy bites and wee sausage things.

i will be doing that from now, checking dates on everything lol

i know, i couldnt believe it when my mum came in and told me. i asked my mum if she complained but she didnt know, i really hope she did.

Thats disgusting, Thanks for the warning.

I'm off to AsDA this morning and have to admit I have never had a problem at all

I haven't shopped in Asda for years because I once pointed out to the produce manager the cheese on display was actually mouldy. He took it off me and shouted to someone out the back to cut the mouldy bits off and repackage it

I have to say i never check dates on cat food. But will from now on!! Thanks

its not just on the pet foods

i've often found out of date stuff on the dairy isles. i took some yogurts to customer service which were 5 days out of date, and when i went back to check they were taking it off the shelves it was found the whole batch were just as bad.

so now i always check dates and will complain if necessary.
