But then, the food industry is well known for using misleading terms on their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have any actual real world examples of what it actually says on the packaging for these special defrosted turkeys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No- I don't think they are in the shops yet. I would hope they would be labelled 'Defrosted' in large unmissable text.

They often used to sell frozen items as fresh and this was made very clear on the labelling. If people dont read labels then they deserve to get food poisoning.

Well obviously there are the usual exceptions, but you know what I mean. Have just noticed the rather glaring typo in that post though, now corrected.

And are you OK with 'Defrosted' being in 'large unmissable text', or do you think people who don't read small text also 'deserve to die of food poisoning'?

If its made obvious then fine. Crawshaws made it plainly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
