Opened a new packet of Quaker Oats this morning. It came with added extras…
Seen a lot of complaints on USA sites but nothing here.
Anyone else had extra protein arrive in their food?
Not the best start in the morning 
I can’t remember having meat in my cereals, but few days ago, we had a stone in a “pain au raisin”. I first told Bill, no, it’s just a raisin that is drier, but after a good look, 100% mineral !

It gets worse…Sue has just taken a video of a larvae crawling around in there🤬
Its an Indian meal moth, I’ve discovered.
The packet says 100% natural so they’re kind of right. Here’s the larvae video,

So cute! Those little eyes and anxious twitches of the little tail (?)
“Mummy, I can’t see you and I can’t hold on much longer!” “Mummy’s coming, sweetheart, just hold on, I can see you through the plastic, Mummy’s coming!”
Pure Indian Bollycreepycrawlywood.

Had plenty of weevils in flour in the Caribbean Chris.
But the strangest, (at the time I was a wee innocent, a mere 21), was the freezers on Merchant Ships.
Us Junior Engineers had to check the temps’, in said freezers.
So first time I marched into the freezer compartment, flicked on the light (it’s a big room), immediate thought, funny, everything’s brown, then the brown started to heave, everything was covered in cockroaches!
Quick exit, then after the Senior Engineers had their Laff 
It was hand round the freezer door, light on, give the 'orrors time to rugger off, before I went in, to fill in my log

Heave…! Can you take the packet back for a refund…??? My Mom in uk keeps worrying about whether I eat enough and keeps suggesting porridge for breakfast…!
This has been going on since 2006 at least…x

We have complained to Quaker.fr and sent them the video and some photos. Expect they’ll just send a voucher for a new packet☹️

It’s really f*****g annoying when you have a complaint regarding an item or company - possibly enough to not wish to use that product or company again and the only “compensation” on offer is a voucher for more of the same.

If something is so ghastly that it means you will never be able to use that product or company again… you probably have cause for pursuing the company through the courts… or at least via their Insurance company…
As Chris is happily munching his way through another packet of porridge… it was obviously not that ghastly…
I would complain to the shop you bought it from aswell. They are a bigger customer

No, you’re one of the good guys… I hope you do get a voucher … nothing nicer than porridge with a blob of honey…
The packaging will carry information which should enable the supplier to identify “where and when” the factory etc that the porridge came from… it may well be that the problem is already known to exist… on the other hand… your complaint may be the first of many yet to come… whatever, it needs to be highlighted.

I just couldn’t be bothered, myself, not for a bag of oats.
