The case refers to an incident in which a customer found a packet of discoloured and “putrid” Don Smallgoods Echo Valley pre-packed sliced honey ham in the chain’s Stirling store.
The ham had apparently been reduced for quick sale on 3 May as it was within three days of its expiry date. That same day, a customer noticed that the ham was grey in colour and oozing a creamy white substance.
