ALDI chicken wings spark outrage—find out why!
- Replies 26
ALDI, the beloved discount supermarket chain, has recently found itself in the midst of a ‘fowl’ controversy.
A disgruntled customer, who was taken aback by an unexpected feathery find, took to the popular ALDI Mums Facebook group to share her dissatisfaction with ALDI's chicken wings.
This incident has sparked a heated debate among the group members, leading to divided opinions.
The customer shared a photo of the chicken wing, still adorned with feathers, and questioned the quality control of ALDI's poultry products.
'Is it only my luck,' she wrote.
'It's the second time our wings are not clean. Is this just an ALDI thing?'
The image of the feathered chicken wing elicited a variety of reactions from the online community, ranging from lighthearted jests to expressions of genuine disgust.
While some group members found humour in the situation, many others were less amused.
One user jokingly said: 'It's alive!'
Others commented 'Yuck!' and 'Ewwww!', with some advising the original poster to discard the wings entirely.
However, ALDI is not the only supermarket where customers have encountered feathered surprises.
Several group members shared similar experiences from other stores, including Coles.
'It's not just ALDI. I had to partially defeather my whole chicken from Coles a few weeks back,' one commenter revealed.
The discussion quickly evolved into a broader conversation about the quality control of poultry products across various retailers.
Some members attempted to downplay the concern, stating that feathers on chicken products are a common occurrence and not exclusive to ALDI.
'It happens everywhere,' one user commented.
However, the original poster remained unimpressed, saying, 'It is just super disgusting as feathers are very dirty, and [they have] now been in contact with the marinade.'
Interestingly, not everyone shared in the revulsion.
Some users dismissed the issue as trivial, suggesting that the simple solution was to pluck the feathers out.
'Can't believe the people carrying on how gross it is. It's a feather,' one person remarked.
'Happy to eat processed food and chicken nuggets, but gee, give me a feather, and I just can't deal.'
'Just pull them out before you cook them!' one advised.
While another added: 'It's not hard.'
However, this sparked a counterargument, with several group members suggesting that customers shouldn't bear the responsibility of such tasks.
'All the people saying “just pull them out, it's not hard”, look at the bigger picture,' one user argued.
'She shouldn't have to pull them out because they shouldn't be there if the job was done properly in the first place!'
