Yes, of course they should have been removed. Call the store manager and tell him that you intend to report it to your local council environmental health department.

Absolutely disgusting.

Unless the giblets were in a plastic bag I'm not sure I'd stress too much.

Not to be expected, but NOT dangerous....where do you think the "extra tasty" comes from?!

hmmm. If intestines present, that means kentucky fried chicken poo. I'm guessing Asda owes you at least another chicken.

I would take it back to them so they can investigate and refund you

I wouldn't eat it, take it back - if you actually mean it's not gutted at all that would include, poo, stomach contents, bile etc all of which may have oozed out in the cooking. Major yuk

I wouldn't take it back to Asda. They won't care. They will just refund you. Make them aware, but call environmental health, because that's the only way these shops get the message.
This chicken could have given your whole family food poisoning. Sorry, but that's absolutely not acceptable these days.

just took it back to asda,spoke to the 12 year old 'manager' who agreed that it was disgusting. They refunded me gave me a token £2 gift card and took my details to give to head office, promised they would be in touch within a week.
watch this space..

Keep on top of them. I would have had Environmental Health crawling all over them.

Asda know what is required of ALL their food handlers. No excuses, no exceptions. Chicken is dangerous if not handled properly...... really dangerous.

I am a firm believer in complaining when it is due and I wouldn't leave it there. Email head office and explain what has happened, if you are lucky a 14 year old manager might see it and deal with properly.

latest news- i phoned the number given by them last week because i still hadn't heard anything and after being on hold for a while i was told they had found my details and correspondence had been sent out to me 'today'. He then said i should receive it sometime this week or early next week!!! i didn't realize they sent out correspondence on the back of a tortoise and then send it off with a mini sat nav.

had a reply today (1 week after they said they sent it) and they say the foreign body in the chicken was just the gall bladder. now i'm not an expert but to me it was the whole innards not just the gall bladder ( [http://i61.tinypic.com/15qxjz8.jpg )they gave me a £15 gift card as a goodwill gesture, now i'm not a greedy man but the cost to me was 4 new dinners, the waste of the veg i bought to go with the roast chicken,the petrol money cost to return the chicken so the £15 just about covers costs. do you think i should take this further??
