Lady alleges buying spoilt Tasty Tom

Many of the products had mould and a noticeable change in colour from the usual bright red to a dark, unappetising appearance.

The surprising looks of the spoilt product, despite being sealed, have stirred public concern about the safety of canned foods sold on the local market.

She captioned her video:

"These are sealed tomato pastes from Tasty Tom but when each is opened up, you’ll see mould in them. Some of them have changed in colour from the usual red to dark."
