Selling items expired over 2 years ago – TASKO SWEETS STORE (Madelief, Pretoria North)

URGENT COMPLAINT – TASKO SWEETS STORE (Madelief, Pretoria North)

I am extremely disappointed and concerned after a recent experience at Tasko Sweets Store located in Madelief Centre, Pretoria North. I went into the store to purchase a few items, including chocolate. Upon arriving home, I opened one of the chocolates to eat, only to be hit with a terrible taste. I immediately checked the packaging, only to discover that the best before date was JUNE 2023.

This means the product has been expired for over 2 years — this is absolutely unacceptable and *******.

Selling expired food, especially by such a large margin, is not only dishonest but poses serious health risks to customers. There are clear regulations that prohibit the sale of expired food products, especially when it can lead to food poisoning or other health issues.

I am demanding urgent assistance and an investigation into this matter. I strongly urge the public to be cautious when supporting this store, as it appears they are knowingly selling severely overpriced and expired products to unsuspecting customers.

Please ensure your health and safety by checking expiry dates before purchase, and consider lodging formal complaints with local consumer protection bodies if you have had similar experiences.

This kind of negligence cannot be allowed to continue!
