So, I picked up some fruit snack squares from Kellogg's and found some black stuff inside them—pretty sure it’s mold. Since this isn't exactly the shopkeeper's fault, but rather something went wrong at the factory level, I'm wondering what my next move should be.

I actually reached out to the consumer protection groups, but they just pointed me toward the inspectors, who then told me to contact the manufacturer... basically, it's just a big circle of people pointing fingers while I'm left standing here looking foolish.

Does anyone know if I'm actually entitled to any kind of compensation? (Not that I can say for sure how many of these bad snack bars I've already eaten, since I didn't notice the dark spots until I'd already bitten into them.

You should give Kellogg's a call; I'm sure they have a consumer hotline set up for exactly this kind of thing.

A few years back, I ran into the exact same issue with some Kraft chocolate croissants. I opened a package that was still factory-sealed, only to find the croissants inside were completely covered in mold. The expiration date was perfectly fine—it wasn't even close to being out of date.

So, I called the Kraft consumer relations line and let them know about what I'd bought.
They were incredibly apologetic and asked if I could mail the packaging back to them for inspection.
I did just that.
Along with their formal apology letter, they actually sent a whole box of various Kraft products straight to my house! 😁 👍

Can someone please fix this Reddit layout? It’s honestly becoming impossible to navigate 🙂

At first, I was convinced my home Wi-Fi was just acting up, but after seeing some other posts, it’s clear I'm not alone here.
Every other site on the web loads perfectly fine for me, but on Reddit, I’m sitting there staring at a blank screen for 20 or 30 seconds just waiting for a single page or a post to actually render. 🙄

I’m literally stuck scrolling left and right just to read a single sentence. I really hope someone decides to fix this soon because honestly, it's giving me a massive headache.

Signed.
Seriously, can we get some actual work done here? Is anyone even reading this? 🙂
It is incredibly frustrating having to constantly scroll horizontally across the page!
The width settings are just completely nonsensical.

For the longest time, Coca-Cola was one of the few brands that didn't sell its soul by using imported ingredients, but I guess even they've caved.
Seriously though, can't we just grow our own damn potatoes and actually compete with the Dutch on price?

Most of the time, companies like Coca-Cola are just repackaging imported goods into their own branded bags. If you aren't reading the fine print on the label, you'd naturally assume you're buying something local just because of the name on the box. 🙄

Frozen fruit and veggies usually come from Canada, Italy, or Belgium. Frozen fish is sourced from pretty much everywhere, though there is a small local selection. As for frozen chicken? That’s almost always Brazilian.
