Extra flavour? ALDI shopper finds 'weird' ingredient in sauce bottle
- Replies 4
When we reach for a sauce bottle from the supermarket shelf, we're already thinking about the zesty flavour it will add to our meals.
However, for one shopper, a quick and convenient dinner turned into a disgusting ordeal that left her gagging and without an appetite.
The young woman was preparing a quick dinner when she discovered a 'weird' and revolting clump inside a green curry sauce bottle from ALDI.
Despite expecting a smooth pour over her sizzling chicken and broccoli, she was instead greeted by a chunk of mould so repulsive that it triggered her gag reflex.
She took to social media to share her ghastly find.
'Something looked a little bit weird about the sauce. I poured it on my dinner, and this big chunk of mould fell out,' she recounted in a video posted online.
'It looks like what my dog regurgitated. It's all over the lid, it's all over the rim, this is just like filled with mould.'
With a best-before date of July 2025, it suggests it should have been perfectly safe to consume.
The woman's experience, which made her feel 'sicker' than ever, made her skip dinner entirely.
Social media users sympathised with her, with many Aussies expressing their feelings of nausea after watching the video.
'I want to vomit,' one wrote.
Another commented about how 'utterly gross' the mould looked.
Some speculated that the mould was likely due to a faulty seal, which allowed oxygen to enter and spoil the sauce.
As of writing, ALDI has yet to comment on the incident.
However, a spokesperson reiterated ALDI's return policy, assuring customers they can return unsatisfactory products for a full refund or replacement.
This was not the first time ALDI has been in the spotlight for questionable content in their products.
In a previous story, another customer found a 'dead mouse' in a packet of microwavable brown rice.
The find caused a horrid smell in his home, leading him to throw out his microwave and avoid rice.
Incidents like these are a stark reminder of the importance of quality control and the potential risks that can occur when it fails.
Food safety is of utmost importance. Always check your food before consumption, especially from a jar or a packet.
If you ever encounter a similar issue, return the product to the store for a refund or exchange.
