Shoppers have hit out at supermarkets after having their Christmas "ruined" by turkeys that they discovered were "rotten" when they unwrapped them to start dinner preparations.
With most supermarkets closing for business on Christmas Day, it was too late for many customers to prepare an alternative - with one shopper saying that their family had to resort to eating beans on toast instead. Supermarkets including Sainsbury's and Tesco issued an apology after a small number of customers were affected by the issue, HullLive reports.
It's not the first festive season that the issue has affected shoppers - previous years have seen similar complaints about the same problem as demand for turkeys soars in the lead-up to Christmas, forcing supermarkets to apologise. This year people took to social media to highlight the problem, complaining that their yuletide celebrations had been spoiled by "rotten" turkeys.
