    Hi all,

    As ridiculous this might appear I am actually a little annoyed. As the title says I purchased a 6 pack of denny rashers and as I put on pan this morning there was only 5 in pack. THe reason I was a litte anooyed was there was I was cooking for 3 hence I got only one of them!

    Anyway of course I'm not going complaining to the local Dunnes for selling them nor am I bothered to contact the company. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Your first mistake was having 1 for yourself, Should of had 2, feck anyone else :D

    Secondly Im sure this thing happens machines are not totally infallible. Contact the provider and get some vouchers.

    If it annoyed you that much why would you not contact them. Im sure youll need the packet as it has a batch number etc on it.

    It was a sign OP to lay off the rashers, 1 is too many!

    Seriously though contact them if you are that annoyed, whats the worst that could happen.

    As stated It annoyed me a little not "that much".

    Seriously though could you be ar$ed contacting them? They would hardly reply to a missing rasher?

    No harm sending an email to let them know it happened, might get a rasher back in the post! :D

    If you have nothing helpful to add, then please don't post.

    OP - contact the manufacturers. Only they can offer assistance.

    Arses slapped, back on topic.
    Johnny will you let us know how you get on, would like to see how this pan's out. Maybe e mail the Kerry group telling them that your not sure if you should have sent your complaint to them as they control the brand, "Sorry, what complaint" being the answer your looking for.
    Que Denny van outside with a delivery.

    isn't there usually some sort of disclaimer on the pack re contents? OP were the 5 larger than normal?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 783 ✭✭✭No1J


    Some producers use the words "Average content 6" etc, but you would think as the market leader that they could do better, what is acceptable 5, 4, 1 gammon steak.

    Yeah, often they cover themselves but usually it would be correct on items less than 10. Meat is usually sold by weight so you might have got 5 slices from a wider section of meat, so even though they are the same thickness they might have been the correct weight.

    I root through chicken fillets in dunnes as often you can get packs of far bigger ones, e.g. they might all say 454g but I have got ones and weighed them at home and they were far heavier. Same with donuts in tesco, they are so cheap they must be just lashing them in, I get extra ones free the odd time. I flick through ham in lidl to find ones with little or no fat, they have them stacked like flicking through records/cds in a shop.

    rubadub is on it! The product is packaged by weight, so it'd have to be underweight for you to have a claim IMHO.

    Thousands of packets a day go down the production line, there will always be a few which slip through

    You were correct to send that email, they will likely send you some vouchers
    Even if decide you have no claim they may still give you vouchers.

    If you don't ask you don't get :)

    Does it have "6" written on the pack? if so there should be 6 and the weight is irrelevant.

    Anyhow, I'll bet you they send you vouchers for Denny/Kerry foods products, all around to your gaf for breakfast !
    Maybe e mail the Kerry group telling them that your not sure if you should have sent your complaint to them as they control the brand

    Had reason to e-mail them before (after much hassle trying to get an e-mail address for them) and they took an age to respond, better go to Denny if you can.
