Aldi shopper is left shocked after she makes a disgusting find in her groceries

A shopper has vowed never to buy Aldi's avocado dip again after opening it up and discovering a bizarre blob: 'It's an avo-nope from me'. 

A Queensland woman bought a Deli Originals avocado dip on Saturday from a store in Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, but was appalled to find a large, deep-green lump of food colouring sitting on top. 

The shopper has taken to social media, asking others to identify the mysterious mass.

Facebook users and health advocates agree that it's a common ingredient

After opening the dip for a snack on Sunday, she immediately snapped pictures and asked for help.

'Has anyone else seen this before?' she wrote. 

'First and last time I'll ever buy this I think [and] it's an avo-nope from me.'

Curious commenters questioned whether it was food colouring or not, with some confirming by telling the woman to read the label which names it as an ingredient.

Some said it looked disgusting while others admitted seeing it before - adding that it just needed a good stir.

'Hardly surprising, doesn't taste like avocado, just enough in there to be able to call it Avocado Dip,' one said. 

The supermarket insists that customers who are unsatisfied with the quality of a product should return it for a full refund or replacement.

Despite the dip's unappealing appearance, health advocates claim that its a common ingredient that shopper need to be aware of.

Belinda Smith, CEO of The Root Cause, told Yahoo that food colouring was often used to enhance the appeal of ultra-processed products before they hit the shelves. 

'The colours are used to enhance the visual appeal, the flavours are usually to enhance taste and smell, and preservatives are used mostly so foods last longer,' she said. 

'Some are made artificially and others are natural, meaning they start from using an animal or plant source - both are made in a chemistry lab and then used in food and drink manufacturing. 

'The natural sources rarely resemble the original source.'

Daily Mail Australia contacted Aldi for comment.
