Aldi shopper buys pasta at supermarket but gasps as soon as she opens it

Brits visit their local supermarket most weeks, and Aldi is a popular option for some. Lots of shoppers head there to pick up essential items and to stock up on food, but one woman recently had the shock of her life when she did a spot of shopping.

Joanne Louise visited her local store recently, and one of the items she picked up was pasta. As a staple in many people's kitchen cupboards, it's a foodie item that many Brits pop in to their shopping trolleys, but one woman was recently left floored after opening the packet, as she couldn't believe what was inside.

She was so gobsmacked that she shared a video online to show what happened. It's the second spaghetti story to have grabbed people's attention lately.

Showing exactly what happened in a TikTok video, she explained: "So, I've just opened this brand new packet of spaghetti. I've come to ask you what kind of bin do I put it in?

"Can you please care to tell me what bin this goes in because that's disgraceful. Aldi spaghetti. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it other than mould."

When Joanne shows the spaghetti to the camera you can see a large section of it is green and covered in mould. She said she bought it to make spaghetti bolognese for her dinner, and couldn't believe what it looked like.

In the comments, one person said: "Contact them - they should replace/refund." To this, Joanne replied: "I feel like I'm put off by it now. Makes me gag thinking about it."

Someone else also responded, simply posting a "sick face" emoji. It clearly didn't leave many people feeling great.

Aldi has confirmed there hasn't been any other complaints of this nature. An Aldi spokesperson said: “Although rare, incidents like this can occasionally occur if packaging is damaged at any point before the product is consumed, as the contents may be exposed to moisture.

"We’re sorry that on this occasion, this product did not meet our usual high standards. Anyone not entirely happy with their purchase can return the product to any store for a full refund."

It was recently announced that the supermarket has replenished its middle aisle with a range of new and returning items.

The middle aisle, also known as the "random aisle", offers a range of unexpected and often quirky items that some people can never help but browse the popular store section.

The Special Buys for the end of July/start of August include a mixture of items for around the home, but are centred on the kitchen. Shoppers will also find a batch of new and returning beauty buys, which offer a bargain way to pamper yourself.
