People have taken to social media to share their upset and disappointment after their turkey’s were rotten when they came to eat them – despite being in date.

This is something that seems to happen every Christmas now.

The family chef peels off the packaging from their ‘fresh’ turkey expecting a meaty festive feast only to discover a stinky rotten bird inside.

It’s happened again on Christmas Day 2020 and furious diners have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment reports Yorkshire Live.

Richard Woodward slammed Aldi for the inedible example that he purchased. He said: “Cheers 2020 gone off Turkey, tomorrow’s date. Vegetables only then.”

Justyn King was another who wasn’t too pleased with the state of his turkey. He said: “So Christmas is ruined by a turkey that’s stinking and green with a 27th date on brilliant just brilliant hope your open tomorrow so you can have it back.”

Chris Abrahma tweeted: “Tesco  nothing like getting your turkey crown out, that’s been stored at 5° and goes off tomorrow, to find it’s completely rotten and stinks to high hell, thanks #2020 just had to get one last gut punch in didn’t you! Well there goes Christmas dinner!

Jane Spicer also received a gone off turkey from Aldi. She said: “thanks for the gone off turkey woke up to this gone off even tho in date and been in a cold fridge thanks for ruining our Christmas.”

Graham Moles’ Waitrose Turkey also had let him down. He said: “Final nail in the 2020 coffin. Waitrose have ruined Xmas with a gone off turkey. #spoiledchrimbo.”

Aldi and Tesco have today tweeted numerous apologies and encouraged customers to get in touch so their complaints can be resolved.
