Thank you for taking the time to bring this review to our attention.

I am a federal contractor and travel around the US for my work. Yesterday I shopped at the Fred Meyer location at 6901 South 19th Street here in Tacoma, Washington.

I spent $51.00 in total, and one of the items was a pint of Simple Truth Birthday Cake ice cream. Later that evening I began to eat some of this ice cream and noticed how hard it was. I let it melt down for a couple of minutes, and then began eating it. I have eaten this flavor before and this tasted not very good. One thing I always do is check dates, however on this visit I just didn't even think about it. I ended up throwing the remaining ice cream down the sink and threw the container away. This morning, Sunday, I went to the trash can because I wanted to check the date on the container. The date reads 'Sell by Aug 06, 2019'. I purchased it on October 5, 2019. How is it possible that this has remained on the shelf for two months? People get sick from this stuff, and nobody is even taking care of this by rotating the product? How is THAT possible?

I contacted someone named Tammy at the store by telephone and explained this situation. She told me she would look into the situation and take care of it. I trust that will be done, however I don't trust that it is a serious enough issue that it will become a priority. I am contacting this office to let them know I will be contacting the manufacturer as well. This is totally unacceptable for a business that sells food to not be on top of.

I was in another location a few months ago and found that an entire brand of yogurt was completely out of date by months. A complete and entire brand was out of date by months? What the hell do stores think? Do they think that people will put up with this lack of quality control in their stores? People trust that products will be monitored and removed it open, leaking, or out of date. I wonder how many other Fred Meyer store managers aren't doing their jobs.

I paid $3.00 for this pint of ice cream, however I don't have the time to return to the store because my team and I will be leaving in a couple of days and we work twelve hour days. I would like for Fred Meyer to send me a refund for the product though. The item number is '1111002641'. The barcode on the receipt is '9102060570100201801910051617'.

I am happy to send images of the receipt and container, however I will be traveling this week so it may take a week or so to get that information to you. I will be throwing the container away, but I have images of the container and date stamp. I hope someone in your company will take this seriously because if someone were to get sick due to issues like this, it could get ugly. I don't sense any issues and don't expect to. Others might not be so lucky.

Thank you.
