OMG this is disgusting. Call places like OZ harvest, soup kitchens, local churches

Interesting, composting rather than throwing it away would be smarter.

Without knowing the full story from Aldi it’s hard to know if the food was still edible or if it had been contaminated. There should be better processes in place everywhere to reduce food waste

I’d be shocked to see produce of that quality dumped.

If that’s what they are throwing out surely they could donate it to a soup kitchen or something. Some needy people could have made a good meal out of that stuff as it still looks like it could be a good meal.

Definitely they should either donate it or if they sell very cheap people will find a use for it

Hmmm a lot of this definitely still looks edible to me!

This makes dumpstetlr diving seem a good idea

I find Aldi selling mouldy fruit or veg almost every time I am in store so I am not surprised by how much they throw out. I assume everything is previously frozen and once defrosted doesn’t have long before it expires. I think they should be donating to shelters, schools, hospitals, and emergency services.

I’ve seen many stores donate food products to kindergarten and schools also some have a basket out the front offering for free a shame to see profit before giving anything

Yes, I’d be shocked. With so much hunger in the World (including Australia), surely someone/charity would love to have this product donated to them …..

It’s terrible to see so much food go to waste especially as a lot of it seems okay. On the other hand, people would complain if they were offered food for sale that wasn’t up to scratch.

It’s a shame to see food go to waste

Wow I would love to know why these can’t be consumed? They look perfectly fine and should be donated.

Why cant this food be given to charity groups or homeless shelters to be given away or turned into a hot meal to be distributed to those in need?

  Apparently Aldi does donate food to rescue services so hopefully this was an anomaly and there was an issue with the produce

Woolworths donate there food to Ozharvest maybe Aldi should do they same

That is just terrible, thanks for sharing.

This has been happening for years which is why there are people who are called freegans I think the word is who can supplement their food by rummaging in the bins and finding perfectly decent food. There are docs on it, it’s eye opening what is thrown away

I can’t see anything wrong with a lot of these products. Why can’t they open the bags of potatoes and sell the good ones loosely? Those tomatoes look better than some that I buy too

This is really shocking.
