A netizen by the alias of Mavi Singh Pannu on Facebook recently posted about that he had went to the Giant outlet at Block 468B Admiralty Drive to purchase some cream cheese for his child.
It turned out to be an eventful experience for him when he opened up the cream cheese as he said that he saw a disgusting sight.
Disgusting layer of mould was found on top of the cream cheese
According to images in his post, there was a thick layer of mould which had formed on top of the cream cheese.
Here is his post
“Bought PHILADELPHIA Soft Cream Cheese from GIANT ( BLK 468B – Admiralty Outlet) for my kid on 02/03/2023.
Suppose to be cheese but to my shocking , saw a very disgusting sight when opened.
Lucky my kid didn’t eat. Gonna follow up with next step? What if someone else kids eats this??? Aiyahhh”
Here are what netizens think
- Normally cheese has quite a long expire date, balance 1 month better to avoid next time.
- Bring back to giant to exchange with ur receipt. I brought this brand somewhere else also. Easy to grow mud one.
- This is totally unacceptable!! The sight of the deeply rotting cheese is simply Nauseous!! Cannot just simply let the vendor apologise and sweep under the carpet.
Please lodge report to SFA to initiate an investigation into the matter. This is a major public safety and concern. - This one confirm people take and put on shelve out of the fridge .. then after few days dunno which staff go put it back
