I heard that in the radio on the way to work, how on earth was it still on the shelf?
How is this even possible…?
Holy shit
What the fuck Dunnes is this? 9 years out of date? Most shops have such a quick turnaround on formula that there’s no way it can get that old.
Also I had a tendency to check the dates on formula when my kids were on it. But I know shopping with kids can be tricky and checking dates or prices or looking out for special offers while they’re running and screaming can get tough.
9 years out of date? Fuck sake. Never liked Dunnes.
That’s so awful, it’s completely understandable that a sleep deprived new parent might not think to check the date. How was such old stock even still in the building nine years after it expired. I hope the baby will be ok.
There is something really sus about this. How about the mad runs on formula (and other stuff) during covid? How about the way they move shelves around the place? How come nobody else picked this up in 10 years? Would it not have been very dusty? I smell a rodent here…..
How is that even possible? Formula usually flies off the shelf, madness. One of the local dunnes’s had to stick a limit on the amount people were buying it got so bad at one point. I’d say that was in the corner of the stock room or something no way it was on the shelf the entire time
Sometimes I’d be on the tills during a summer I worked in Dunnes, and daily i’d have about 4/5 instances of Chinese lads buying x4 formulas to send home to China where the formula quality is really bad.
Dunnes actually had a cap on the number of formulas that could be bought (4) for this reason, because the Chinese lads would be buying them all up otherwise. For this reason, I’m very surprised that any had been on the shelf for that long. Assuming someone returned an old one as someone else said on this thread.
Twice recently I’ve bought out of date products at my local Dunnes. Only a week or so but they are all use by rather than best before it’s so frustrating.
Very odd but the fact Dunnes Stores paid out makes me think they were defo at fault. Dunnes Stores has a reputation for fighting all claims and would not simply settle and pay all costs if they were not 100% sure they were at fault.
to get a settlement out of Dunnes is impressive, they hate being in the news and if there was even the slightest chance they were not have fault they would fight this all the way.

If the formula was 9 years out of date last year, and formula is usually well dated ahead, it meant that it would have been on the same shelf for ten years. So at no point did it sell despite this milk selling incredibly well. Even more so during the COVID rush when there was a week where aptimal was low in stock. Or the label or branding on the bottle didn’t change one bit in comparison to other same products on the shelf?
No way the formula was sitting there 9 years.
Sounds like a scam to me
Very weird.
Edit, to add, hopefully a quick recovery for the child x
Something to note about Dunnes and baby products – be very cautious buying their socks. A lady posted how she bought socks for her baby in dunnes and the socks have lose threads on the inside seam. She didn’t notice until she took off the baby’s socks and one of the threads had become tangled around her toe. The baby had to be taken to A&E and almost lost her toe. The lady checked all the socks in the pack and they were all the same then checked other dunnes socks and they were the same too. Unrelated to this story but just a warning

Oh no
I hope the child has a good recovery.
Something very strange happened in this incident.
Very bizarre.
