CHECK YOUR CHEESE: Aldi mum’s horror after finding THIS in her block of cheese

This is so disturbing. - by Eliza Scanlan
  • 26 Jun 2019

An Aussie mum has revealed her horror after making a disturbing find in not one, but two packets of Aldi cheese. 

Sharing her gruesome find on the Aldi Mums Facebook group, shopper Lisa says she was stunned to find huge amounts of mould growing on the cheese - well before their use by dates. 

CHECK YOUR CHEESE: Aldi mum’s horror after finding THIS in her block of cheese

Writes Lisa:  ‘Opened a brand new block of cheese this morning to make school lunches and this is what I found. 

‘Went to open my second new block and it too was mouldy, though not as bad. Never before had this happen and I always buy this cheese. Plan to call the Aldi customer service number this morning when they open. Best before October.’

Lisa later updated the post to say she’d spoken to her local Aldi, writing: ‘I did ring customer service before returning it so that they were aware of the issue and able to check other stock from the same load. Both blocks returned in store and exchanged. I will definitely be making sure I check my cheese when I pick them up from now on!!!’

Not surprisingly, other Aldi Mums were horrified by Lisa’s discovery. 

‘That’s absolutely terrible. I’ve had the same thing happen from both Aldi and Woolies,’ said one. 'That's so gross,' said another.

But others commented that it's a fact of life. Said one: ‘This can happen with expensive brands too, it’s just the vacuum packaging.’
