The retailer pledged to follow up with its meat production partners and urged others with the same issue to contact their local store 'If a customer is able to return a fresh produce they are not happy with, we'll refund and replace it,' he said.
This is not the first time Woolworths customers complained about meat appearing to be stuck together.
Another woman recently took to social media to complain that her Woolworths 'eye fillets' were falling apart.
'So when did Woolworths start using meat glue to make this atrocity of an 'eye fillet' steak?' she wrote in a Facebook group on January 8.
The shopper shared a photo of the steaks sitting in a fry pan, riddled with holes.

Woolworth’s and Footlocker combined together. Meat from those two stores is not enticing..
filet mignon is the most overrated cut of beef ever!
>filet mignon is the most overrated cut of beef ever!
Agreed
My father loved it and liked it well done.
I was like dude...
Gimme ribeye med rare please.

Yeah, Cliffy had himself the tunnel T-bone. For less than four bucks, you get 24 ounces of USDA choice US bef.
Cliff Clavin:
Bef? You mean beef.
Norm Peterson:
Beef? Don’t be ridiculous Cliffy, that stuff is bef. You see, it’s a Hungry Heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic, what... , meat-like substance.
Cliff Clavin:
Ohh, Norm.
Norm Peterson:
What do expect for four bucks? Do you hear me complain about the loobster?
The tenderloin primal is inside the body cavity. Beef tenderloin has a hint of organ meat flavor to me.
My personal favorites are flat iron, top sirloin, skirt and flank. Better beef flavor IMO. Also, not a large amount of fat.
bring on the serf and terf...
No it is not illegal, and as long as they tell you in the fine print it isn’t unethical. It just isn’t very good.
The Australian and South African stores are rip-offs established by outsiders because the Woolworth name wasn't trademarked in those countries and the company had no stores there.
Tried eating beef on a trip overseas back in 2006, and was disgusted by the grizzle and fat in what was supposed to be prime beef. I think Europeans have a different take on what constitutes “prime” meat. Ordered Pepper Steak in both Belgium and Holland, and the meat was disgusting, and very hard to chew. Ordered a Delmonico steak when we stayed at the Europa Hotel in Belfast, Ireland. I asked it to be cooked medium, and when it came, it was so overcooked and dried out, that you couldn’t even eat it. I ordered a burger at a restaurant in Victoria Station in London, and couldn’t even finish it. It had so much Worcestershire sauce in it, you couldn’t even taste the meat.
I didn’t know either.
Who would buy meat from Woolworths anyways?
I grew up in Rochester, New York. On downtown Main Street, there was a Neisner’s and a Woolworth’s right across the street from each other. The Neisner’s had the snack bar on the first floor, and a cafeteria in the basement. They also sold pizza at the front of the store. Woolworth’s had just the snack bar, but I ate at both of them quite a bit as a kid with my mother, and after I graduated from high school in 1965. There was a Mr. Peanut shop two doors down from Neisner’s, and all you could smell were peanuts roasting. And occasionally, they had someone dressed up as Mr. Peanut outside the store.
The grain looks correct, not running in various directions as it would if it was just stuck together. This looks like a somewhat too thin, delicately marbled boneless ribeye from a very young steer, and is probably as tender as as can be without being raised on beer and Asian massage. It just got torn because someone for some dumb reason trimmed every single bit of fat from the outside of the steak, and made holes by removing the oblong gob or gobs of interior fat that are found in the typical ribeye, which means that when lifted up, the weight of the steak causes the meat to stretch and separate, because there was nothing left to hold the meat together.
There’s a reason the gobs of fat are usually left in a ribeye sold in the US— it’s because it’s delicious and because it helps the meat retain its shape.
I quite agree.
Come up to Canada...there is still Esso and Toys R Us.
English Woolworth’s. Which I had no idea if they were also still open, but it’s a different company.
In the USA Woolworth’s is long gone, AFAIK.
Oddly, Lawson’s which is long gone from America, lives on in Japan and is Ichi ban!
“Scots are stereotyped as notoriously cheap”
That’s what I thought. It was some commentary on gluing together a “fillet” from scraps.
