To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I purchased some of your shrimp at the closest location to my home… 351 Logan Lane Baden, PA 15005. We made the first batch and I got so sick that I spent November 11th through November 15th in my local hospital. I had severe stomach cramping, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The attending ER doctor felt that I needed to be admitted. After all of the testing that was done, the doctors were baffled as to what was wrong with me…. Stomach cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, and just a complete sense of nausea. It was no wonder why one of the Head Gastroenterologists said that since all of the tests came back inconclusive, he said that it was a virus. Commonly misdiagnosed with food poisoning.
Gee, I wonder who is going to be picking up the “tab” of that stay at my local “Club Med”. Lord knows, I needed a vacation, but I was hoping I would be sitting back at the beach in FL, not hitting my nurse call button on my adjustable bed in a shared room. And having my family in an uproar about my inconclusive “condition”. I am highly upset about this and I am wondering what steps to take next.
Being released from the hospital AND not correlating my symptoms with food poisoning we had another package of your shrimp in the freezer. On November 24th my husband and I decided to make it…low and behold, guess who was back in the bathroom up all night vomiting into a trash bin beside her bed…Yup, it was me…. Needless to say, now I know what all the common symptoms of food poisoning are.
I have a package of Flounder that I was going to make, but I am going to return that package and I really hope that the manager does not give me any problems…. I would hate to have to draw the media into this mishap.
I hope that this problem gets rectified. I have seen some of the same complaints about ALDI’s food on some websites and I have decided to stop shopping at ALDI completely. As well as staging a complete boycott. I hope to hear from you soon, or once the medical bills start to roll in, you will be hearing from my lawyers.
I had a horrible experience and I literally went through my cupboards and fridge and got rid of everything from ALDI and I checked and double checked dates for all of my other foods.
I hope that no one else has an experience like I did. It sucked.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I love Aldi's and have been shopping in their New Haven, Connecticut store for several years. Most of the products they carry are great quality at fantastic prices. Employees there are, for the most part, pleasant and very customer oriented and it's a pleasure to shop there. Just like any supermarket some of the items they carry aren't so great...so I don't buy them again.
We've used Folger's Instant coffee for years and was pleasantly surprised that Aldi's Beaumont Instant Coffee tasted just about the same as the Folgers for way less money. BUT RECENTLY SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. I opened a new jar today and made my cup of coffee as usual. I could not drink it; IT HAD A TERRIBLE CHEMICAL TASTE. So sad because it had been really good coffee. Am going to return the 4 jars I bought, including the one I've opened. Wondering if anyone else has noticed a quality difference recently.
I got an Aldis Pepperoni Pizza for dinner and the next day I felt sick.
I got sick at work aroind noon and passed out and was turning blue and my blood pressure was really low. Ambulance took me to hospital and they said it was probably a virus. Next day I had non stop diarrhea almost like preparing for a colonoscopy. I still have half a pizza in the refrigetator. Is there a place I can take it to see if this was the cause? Only other thing I ate after that was sausage patty and english muffin also from aldi but since package was used for a few days and I didnt feel sick those days. But I have heard that you usually get sick right away and it was about 15 hours afterwards so I am not positive if it was the pizza.
The flavored water variety pack has a sewage like STANK SMELL!
I believe that it has bacteria mechanisms and also is not good for the urinary tract system. All these mistakes that variety flavored water off the shelves it can't be good for anybody Point Blank. It stinks really bad!
Aldi's water stinks
I WAS USING MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE. I BOUGHT BEAUMONT COFFEE IN TIN. 33.9 OZ CLASSIC ROAST MEDIUM I HAVE NEVER TASTED COFFEE THAT BAD. I ENJOY COFFEE AT IHOP AND SONIC. THEY ONLY HAD 1 BRAND OF COFFEE. I DONT THINK ANYONE THAT BOUGHT IT WOULD EVER BUY IT AGAIN.
I just purchased their bell peppers that come in a three pack. I had the same reaction, I also had gastroenteritis. Aldi has crap quality food. I will never shop there again. Disgusting.
"When I took the first one back I was given a really horrible woman who told me it was my fault "I must have left it out of the fridge." She is a blond woman mid 30 and a real ### altitude."
### altitude huh? So, does her attitude get worst in the mountains? I don't follow.
"i bought a jar of Tuscan Garden Spanish Olives and bit into a pit, they are pitted olives and i chipped my tooth, what am i to do?"
um. see a dentist?
Why are you such a [censor]?
"But today my daughter opened up a bag of fit 'n active rice cakes and found something that looked liked a maggot."
You know what looks like maggots? RICE
"Being released from the hospital AND not correlating my symptoms with food poisoning we had another package of your shrimp in the freezer. "
How stupid are you?
