I bought a sealed bag of sprouts labelled 300g but when I weighed them there were only 232g.
I thought they should know about this but have found it impossible to get through to anywhere I can tell them. Any ideas? I don't find it easy to get to a store these days.

If bought in store, did you complain there?

Can I ask why you weighed the sprouts.

Why are you asking that?

Because I’ve never seen the reason to weigh a bag of veg unless it’s a specific recipe that required 300gsm of sprouts.
Off the top of my head it would only be a giant bubble and squeak

Well maybe she picked the bag up and thought it felt light and just checked the weight. She was proved right and was missing 68grams.

Answer:- I wanted to use them half at a time and having weighed out 150g there were hardly any left.

The robot on chat not at all helpful.

Here is how to complain. The links are on the page:

There is an online refund form on that page. You don't need to chat about it, just request a refund and you will get it. Nothing else will happen.

I did go through the refund process but to me that's not the point. Whole thing is scandalous. Will have to start weighing everything now.

That makes sense 😉

Fraud is an extreme word to use in this circumstance.

Aldom Mon 02-Nov-26 11:59:01

I agree Kitty. It's probably just a one off mistake. smile
