Food Poisoned by my woolies????

Firstly, I wish to express sadness in finding myself writing a complaint about a store which I have had confidence in for as long as I can remember. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could post something of this nature about this store however, as of today the words \reputable"& \""quality\"" leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I purchased biltong today at canal walk. I took a few pieces which were as hard as raw cartilage for lack of a better metaphor. This was meant to be my study snack but my academics have since been put on hold as im battling with an uncontrollable runny & bloated tummy. I looked up the expiry date which says BB 25/09/2015 and to be used by the 27/09/15. Now I hold woolworths responsible for not ensuring that their best before products were checked and possibly sampled/tasted and subsequently removed from the shelves. Now I have been inconvenienced enough from my studies"
