A Melbourne woman was halfway through cooking her dinner when she realised the pasta she had bought from Woolworths was covered in mould.
Eleanor Quirk went to the supermarket giant on Thursday evening to buy ingredients.
‘(I) bought two packets of Casa Della Pasta’s “Allegra’s Fresh Fettuccine” from Woolworths South Melbourne,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘After cooking, and partially eating, (I) realised it’s riddled with mould!
‘How can they sell this?’
In photographs shared with this publication, there is white and grey discolouration on some of the strands of pasta.
Other strands have dark, large black spots that also indicate mould.
The use-by date printed on the packaging of the pasta said July 4, in a week’s time.
Ms Quirk said she had called the Woolworths store but she was told there would be no recourse except for a refund if she could produce a receipt.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Woolworths and 7chefs, the company that produces products under the name Casa Della Pasta.
