[Britain's biggest supermarket apologised to customers who complained on social media
and in a statement said it would investigate after a "small number of complaints in recent days".
A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency told Sky News it was aware of the coverage
of the controversy and that it would be "looking into" the matter and "considering next steps".]

The Tesco I worked for was terrible when it came to food standards. Rotting fruit and veg was a regular occurrence because most workers wouldn't order them properly on the shelves and the storage facilities in the back were awful. The Tesco up the road is pretty good though. I'm guessing these turkeys came from a store or depot that had a similar attitude to the shop I worked in.

Hence i always order mine from a proper butcher, collect xmas eve. Tesco is the very last supermarket i would buy meat from , i never shop in Tesco anymore after having bought bad smelling meat from them before. A friend of mine used to take meat back there regularly and they do refund and give you another piece of meat but thats not much good after dinner has been ruined. As for Chrismas dinner being ruined i would be furious ! No doubt they will compensate - not the point really though is it.

Wonder if the supplier was 2sisters? Mind you as bad as they are the scandal would have been over several supermarkets if it were. Tesco are dire haven't shopped there since the infected horsemeat fiasco :/

it would be down to where ever it was packaged wouldn't it, as if in date its up to the customer to find a date they are going to use it by, and it should be still eatable if still in date

stock control seems to be a issue in lots of supermarket with goods with shorter dates being pushed to the back, they need training :idc:

I hate Tesco as a shop anyway and never go there.

the cynical side of me thinks its an easy way to get some compo as well, she blamed her husbands feet? so that would mean everytime she opened the fridge she didn't connect the dots :suspect:

and how do you end up cooking a rancid turkey and pouring the gravy over the veg, makes no sense

One persons rancid is another persons flavourful :shrug:
