Very disappointed having visited my local Simply Food store in Spalding this morning (Christmas Eve). The date on all sliced white and brown bread was 25th December (despite looking towards the back of the shelf for a longer date) and dates on all chilled Yule Logs were 26th December. I appreciate the chocolate Yule logs contain fresh cream but surely they could have a longer use by date than 2 days! I also wanted a profiterole stack for Boxing Day but the dates on those were 25th December and very few left on the shelf, which makes me think they were all yesterday’s stock. This is not a one off experience as I have noticed very short dates on a lot of M&S food items just lately. Even Colin The Caterpillar Christmas Cake was no longer available to order. I couldn’t obtain any Snow Globe gin either, despite visiting several stores in my area to keep checking if any new stock had come in.
