Summary
I shopped at Sainsbury's Thornhill, Cardiff, branch recently to find that they had allowed helpers from a charity to offer to pack food. I accepted, but was amazed to find that the elderly packer had no idea how to pack. Fortunately, I managed to prevent him from putting bread and biscuits in a bag that contained a joint of beef. It would seem obvious that it would be possible for blood from the meat to drip onto other items. It is little wonder that the incidence of food poisoning in this country is so high. Why were these helpers not given some rudimentary guidelines eg do not pack raw chicken with cream cakes, or do not pack toilet blocks and bleach with pork pies? I phoned the store and the check-out manager, who seemed oblivious of the potential danger, said that packing the goods was an option which I could have refused, and I could have returned the items had I not noticed.
I blame the store and hope this serves as a warning to shoppers to refuse this option unless they can be sure whoever is entrusted to handle their provisions is competent.See the full content of this document
