INFERIOR FROZEN BEANS

I purchased 2 packets of frozen green beans from Shoprite in White River. I had to throw both packets away. The beans were brown in colour & I also found what appeared to be a piece of the bean plant itself. In other words that which goes into the ground. The BB dates were both September & December 2023. Frozen veg are rather expensive & we are pensioners who cannot afford to throw food away. I have photos of the items should I need to prove my complaint.
