Pregnant shopper's ALARMING claims about popular Woolworths buy sparks supermarket response
- Replies 8
A pregnant customer has taken to social media to express her outrage after allegedly finding raw chicken in a Woolworths brand Butter Chicken With Rice Chilled Meal.
The shopper from Melbourne shared an image of the dish in question, claiming that the ready-to-eat meal contained uncooked chicken.
This raises serious concerns about the health risks of potentially eating a meal with raw chicken, not just for the pregnant woman but also for her unborn baby.

She wrote: “I’m 27 weeks pregnant, eating my lunch and it’s full of raw chicken!”
“But what happens when I end up in hospital with food poisoning?! As being pregnant with diabetes this is life-threatening for my baby!”
“It’s meant to be a ready-made meal, as in already cooked."
“This meal should never have had raw chicken in it!”
A Woolworths spokesperson confirmed that the retailer is investigating the claim, saying that the incident is an isolated case.
The spokesperson said: “We take food safety and quality very seriously and are disappointed to receive this customer’s report.”
“We’ve passed this onto our supply partner to look into it further and provided the customer with a gift card."
“We haven’t received any other reports on products of a similar nature at this time.”
So, there you have it, folks! Be sure to check your ready-to-eat meals before consuming them to prevent issues that may arise from them. Also, if you’re looking to make a delicious, better-for-you butter chicken recipe, we recommend this article.
