Woolies in another embarrassing dog food mishap
Woolworths has found itself in a second dog food labelling mishap after a store placed a Father's Day advertisement above the pet meat section.
A photo was snapped at the Hilton supermarket in Adelaide on Wednesday showing a sign reading: "Make it a delicious day for Dad" ahead of Father's Day on Sunday.
The advertisement was accidentally placed above a fridge full of dog and cat meat.
This comes just one day after the supermarket giant apologised to a furious Sydney mother who packed Scooby Snack dog treats in her children's lunch box.
Tania Toomey complained to Woolworths after she purchased the carob biscuits from her local supermarket for her children, not realising it was dog food because the packet was in the confectionery aisle.
"I bought these from the biscuit isle next to the Tiny Teddies at Woolies in North Strathfield," she wrote.

Woolworths has apologised for the confusion and a spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday: "Woolworths can confirm that a single packet of Scooby Snacks dog biscuits was accidentally placed in the biscuit aisle at the Woolworths North Strathfield store last week and subsequently purchased by a customer".
"We can confirm that the product is stocked as intended in the pet food aisle in the stores where it's sold, with the product marked as 'Pet Food Only'.
"Store teams have had further communication this week to ensure that no packets are mistakenly placed in the wrong aisle."
Seven News Online has contacted Woolworths for a comment on the position of the Father's Day advertising, but a spokesman has not responded as yet.
