All supermarkets mess up sometimes, so I don't understand why Aldi and LIDL have to be picture perfect.
Remember when Mars Bar showed up a piece of cardboard for one of its ingredients? That happened in the '90's. Bet you all still eat it! Remember when Tesco sold horse meat burgers? Bet some of you still buy your burgers for your BBQs from there. They recalled and improved, so will these German cheapskate superstores. No big deal. No one has died after eating any of their products so no need to panic or sling mud at them with such conviction against them. They're alright.

To be honest with you, I haven't, ether.
I wasn' talking about you or me but about those presumed idiot buyers who may have invented fake/artificial hazelnut in their heads; e.g. cheating ham, cheating this and cheating that etc. LIDL would have withdrawn the milk chocolate in such fantastically* idiots' favour LIDL would have withdrawn those products.
* I've been influenced to use this 'fantastically' term by mister Cameron who used it to the Queen; to describe some corrupt most countries. I'm sure he's also one of them who complained against the LIDL chocolate.
Clarification: I'm not unsympathetic to the allergy sufferers. I'm just unsympathetic to the ones who can't understand the obvious; like Jack pointed out, and expect the milk and hazelnut chocolate to further clarify that it's allergic to the milk and nuts allergy bearing people.

Anyways, I'll go to Aldi today to get some fruit as I've run out of them.
One complain: I've consumed 3 water melons from there by now, over the last 3 weeks. First one was not sweet enough, second one was sweet as honey with mature, crunch worthy seeds
but third one was; although it was sweet, the seeds were not mature enough to be enjoyed as the pleasant interference. They came in a way instead, which p7ssed me off. They were so tiny that you couldn't de-seed the fruit either. So I may skip the water melon today. Third experience has left an obnoxious taste in my mouth.

Yes, that's why I didn't say that I'd go to Tesco or Marks to get a better one. Marks didn't even stock it, last time I checked.
Mind you, although they can't cut open a whole water melon, in order to ensure its good quality, the consistency is quality still depends on the quality and the care the farmer provides. So, there's a possibility that Tesco may stock water melons from better farmers where the crop is taken care of; right from the very original bed seed.

By the way, I don't know where these supermarkets get their water melons from. I really do like them, so I'll keep taking my chances with them. If not this time, maybe next time. Like mangoes, they're grown in abundance in India, so I'm a fan of their lovely taste. I mean, when they turn out to be sweet and well-seeded.

No ready meals for Lidl and Aldi!! They're all made in the same factory right??

I do apologise if I ignored something while scanning through that article. Easily done when you're multi-tasking. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they don't make Aldi/LIDL ready meals in the same factory. All and any ready meals from any supermarket are mass-produced, low nutritional value shyte imo. You can never guarantee who put their dirty finger in your lasagne, may it be Marks or flipping Harrods! Make your own from the scratch fresh, if you're that posh.

The daft management obviously signed up to just supply M and S , this is what happened to factory I worked at in the eighties, And then M and S pulled the plug , went some where else. ( got a grand pay off, even though I'd only been there 6 months)
Before that the company supplied several super markets , diff packaging
