'Oh My Goodness' range milkshakes need to be pulled from shelves immediately.

These are two separate occasions but they do provide context so bear with me. Two weeks ago, I purchased two chocolate flavoured milkshakes from your "Oh My Goodness" range. One was consumed immediately, the other left refrigerated and consumed on the Monday (2 days from purchase). The Monday one was completely spoilt to the point of the milk starting to solidify.

Now, I do understand that there are 'bad batches' on occasion, so the offending milkshake was thrown without any action being taken on my side.

However, on Saturday, the 28th of October, another two of these Oh My Goodness-range milkshakes were bought (one chocolate, one banana) and were left refrigerated until Monday. Again, the chocolate flavoured one was found to be completely and sourly spoiled.

Once is concerning, twice is unacceptable.

The two biggest concerns in all of this are that 1) these milkshakes have a 9 month shelf life from production - according to the dates on the lids. Both of these bottles I've purchased were produced in mid 2017 (September 2017 on this latest incident) and have best before dates in 2018. It is unacceptable for such a large grocer to provide such dates when they spoil in days.

2) these products, from the advertising and labelling, are marketed for kids and parents thereof. Most working parents do not have time to buy one fresh everyday. Most, if they can afford it, buy for either weeks or - especially since the supposed expiry dates are around 9 months from production - months in advance. Some kids would not know any better, they're kids at the end of the day, and consume this spoilt milk... and I am rightly sure that we all know what illnesses consuming spoilt milk can cause.

The fact that I can refund is away from my mind for now - I am going to get one from where it was purchased - but from these incidents, I honestly demand that's Checkers pull this entire milkshake range from their shelves. Nothing less will do.
