Woman's 'terrible' find in her family's Coles chicken dinner

A Coles customer has accused the supermarket giant of selling her a raw barbecued chicken to feed her family.

Charmaine Lee, from Newcastle, NSW, wrote on Facebook on Tuesday that she had stopped by Coles at around 6pm on her way home from work.

“Great way to end my day… go get a chicken to feed my kids get home and it's raw,” she said.

Ms Lee told Yahoo News Australia she thought the roast chicken would be an easy dinner for her five children, but was forced to feed them just salad wraps after discovering the meat has not been properly cooked.

She said Coles had contacted her to apologise but that she was still waiting for the head of the company to reach out on Wednesday.

“Coles takes the quality of all our products seriously,” a Coles spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia.

“We have strict quality controls in place to prevent this from happening and we have contacted the customer to follow up their complaint.”

“As always we encourage customers to return any item they’re not 100% happy with to their nearest store for a full refund or replacement.”

Just two days prior, another woman claimed she found a slug in her Coles Caesar Salad bowl while chowing down.

“After enjoying most of one I noticed something strange hanging off my fork - turns out it was a slug,” she wrote on Coles’ Facebook page.

“The slug had been squashed and inadvertently been mixed through the salad so not sure how much I may have eaten.”
