🛒 What to Do If It Happens to You
If you ever find spoiled fruit inside a sealed bag:
- Take photos of the apple(s) and packaging.
- Save the receipt.
- Return it to the store for a refund or replacement — most retailers, including Lidl, have a satisfaction guarantee.
- Report the batch number if available. It helps stores trace and remove problematic stock.
🗣️ Bonus tip: You can also report serious issues to local food safety authorities if needed.
✅ Final Thoughts: Don’t Panic — Be Prepared
What happened to this shopper was gross, yes — but not uncommon. The important thing is knowing how to spot bad fruit before you take a bite, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Food safety starts with awareness — and a little caution at the store can go a long way.
