[Resolved] Lion Dates — live insect inside lion dates | |
I bought 200g lion dates with batch no. k105 on 24th Aug 2009 from a retailer in order to provide this as a health supplement for my pregnant wife. I was shocked and furious to find one live insect running inside the container when I opened it and at the same time, my wife was chewing one of the dates from the container and was about to swallow it. How can an ISO 9001:2000 company like LION DATES IMPEX PVT LTD., can do this. My wife has developed an aversion towards dates because of this. I am planning to move this matter to Consumer court complaining about the insect and complaining about the accredited certification bodies who has provided ISO 9001:2000 status. please advice. Was this information helpful? | |

Hi We also bought the Lion dates( black dates- desert king(RS.124 pack)) 500gm pack . It had lots of insects running inside the pack. It was jar and we never opened it but could see the insects. I contacted the consumer care executive in the 1800 no provided in the pack and they replaced me a new pack thru courier the very next day with a apology letter.

Lion Dates — Weevils in Lion Dates
Hi,I procered a Lion Black Dates, unfortunately the dates which is there in the box is not a quality one, and more worst to see that inside the dates there is lots of live insects Wevils, Such a company like LION Dates is supplying these kind of quality dates is very disgusting. The dates is having the validity period, it manufactured in April Month 09.
Thanks and Regards,

Same case with me too. I purchased Lion dates (Seedless) on 24th Aug 2009. I saw atleast 10 worms coming out it. This is also July 2009 packed. Looks like some thing is miserably wrong with Quality control at Lion dates. We should try to bring this issue to consumer court and Food Safety authorities.
If you are in Chennai, you may contact the Rotary Consumer Guidance Cell in Anna Nagar. Phone number: [protected]. But first, do your duty to inform the company by writing to them and give them sufficient time to respond. You should have done this as soon as you found the problem. In the letter, include details about the retailer and the bill. Rotary Consumer Guidance Cell will also help you to format the letter carefully.
Same here. I bought 500 gm Lion dates from Bangalore (Mfg Date: July 2009) and i saw lots of insects inside . I called their customer care number and complained about it . They said someone else from their side will call me soon .
I bought lion dates and when i open it is full of insects inside... i thought to bought from other shops .. but 3 times i saw those insects ... so i changed the brand. I will post my experience in all blogs, so customers like me will not affect.
I also had the same experience. On 10/20/09, I bought 500 g of Lion Dates from a shop in Cochin. It was tightly packed when I am purchasing, but when I opened the seal, full of live ants inside.
I also bought two 500gr pacs, both have full of insects, this is my second experience of these brand, thats why i suggest you to all please dont buy these dirty lion dates, and consumer, health departments of india should take action on these brand.
I bought 2 packets of lion dates in month of august from "star bazar" in koramagala bangalore.
I bought them so that they can be brought to japan, where i am on deputation. when we opened them, we found them full of small insects (black in colour). which are usually found in food grains. but did not expect it in dates. it was not expected to find them in there.
it was very dishearting and took the trust out of lion dates and star bazar. please advice me how can this be brought to the notice of quality control dept of Lion dates. and request the govt to take necessary steps against both the companies to make sure about the quality of the products that they sell.

I want share my thoughts about it(lion dates), i fully aware about it, using the above customer complaints.The same, i opened it i found lot of live insects with in the container, i shocked!!!.how they are produced this worst product, even though they says ISO 9000 certified company.Immediately i returened the pack to shop owner, i replaced the another.So my special advise to ISO companies to take necessary action against the company owner.The health of lot of costomer will affecte and loosing their money also.So the company dont do money minded.
Yes, i agree.I also had the same problem this morning.Actually i am a regular user of the lion dates.When i opened the pack there were lot of moving insects and even i saw some strands of hair.We simply trust on the certification ISO and so on.Now i have to think twice before buying dates.I will write to them and possible file a complaint.
I also had the same experience. Full of insects. Shop owner not even listen to my complaint. Very bad.
I had the same problem when i puchased same200grm . i had a verbal chat with the company. i didn't get enough response.i am woundering a company which concentrate on advertisements about the promotion, doesn' t care and done proper followup for the complaint.

Lion Dates — Insects in sealed packets
Regarding Lion Dates..I think the worst dates among others. Everytime when I open the sealed packet of Lion Dates its full of small insects, inspite of checking the expiry date. Nearly 6 times I have wasted my money by buying Lion Dates. Even my friend's complaint is same reg Lion Dates.
Even i found insects in sealed pack. Wasted my money twice. I am going to complain their service center.
Does any one has already contacted them?

I don't know whar food and sanitation department jokers are doing @ this point of time. I have bitter experience with this having seen full of live insects in the opened box which is dated Dec'2009. I had an arguement with the shop keeper. I had thrown the box of infront of their shop. There should be a systematic way to counter food sanitation problem. Lion dates is a pichi gudda brand. Never use it. Lauda ke Bal shop keeper and pichakuntla brand lion dates!!!.
Even i agree the same.. you know i already swallowed some f the dates too.. Earlier i am a big fan for those lion products, and i started hating them no. Please take necessary actions against them
