I have just purchased bottles of Bolthouse Mocha Cappuccino. I drink it all the time but this batch tastes terrible.
The expiry date of the recall is August 2, 2016. The expiry date on my “terrible” bottles is August 8, 2016.
Please comment
I’d recommend returning them to the store, even though they are outside of the recall’s expiration date. You as a consumer are entitled to be satisfied with your purchases.
