EMPLOYEES at a luxury UK food chain were handed a festive bonus of Christmas puddings - which went out of date nearly 10 months ago.
Bosses at Premier Foods attached a letter to each of the $11 puddings assuring staff they were still safe to eat, despite the March 2 2009 expiry date shown on the packaging.
"You don't get any more 'Bah humbug' than trying to pass off out of date food as a Christmas present" a worker said.

Authorities said no one was injured Sunday night when the man allegedly tossed the Molotov cocktail through the front window of a Thomson home just before 9 p.m. Police arrested the man soon after the incident.
