One Lidl customer named Jim posted pictures of their rotten £25 bird on Twitter on Christmas morning, claiming it had ‘ruined’ Christmas dinner.
They claimed to have bought the meat from the budget supermarket in Guisborough, North Yorkshire three days ago but found it was gone off and this morning – despite the sell-by-date being December 26.
‘Cheers @LidlGB. Bought this Turkey crown from Guisborough store 3 days ago, straight in the fridge, sell by date boxing day,’ he wrote.
‘Absolutely stinks, rotten meat. £24.18 for a ruined Christmas Dinner.’

Sarah Waite took to Twitter to complain about her Sainsbury’s-bought turkey which she found out was gone off this morning, writing it was ‘absolutely disgusting’.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: ‘The quality of our products is extremely important and we’re looking into a very small number of complaints.’
A Tesco spokesperson said: ‘We have exceptionally high standards for our Christmas turkeys so we’re sorry to hear about these concerns.
‘We’ve sold hundreds of thousands of great quality British turkeys this Christmas and will investigate these few incidents.’
Tesco have asked customers with complaints to return their turkey to their nearest large store so they can investigate the issues further.
Lidl have been contacted for comment.
