Ollie Whittingham tweeted the supermarket when he noticed packs of Durex condoms lining the top shelf of the section marked for children’s health at a branch in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.

‘@Tesco you might want to revise where you place your stock in the Shepton Mallet store,’ he wrote.


Later speaking to the Evening Standard, Mr Whittingham said he wondered whether it was a commentary on the ‘culture of young people today’.

@funky_bbq I'm sorry about that. I've spoken with Lucy in store and she's has checked the shelves and the products have been removed. (1) — Tesco (@Tesco) February 20, 2016

‘It was mid-afternoon and after spotting it in the aisle, I was a bit surprised an employee hadn’t noticed this earlier,’ he said.



‘I found it slightly funny because it was either an innocent mistake or someone poking a little fun at the culture of young people today.

‘There were children’s health products there, Calpol, Sudocrem, all the usual children’s medicine.’

Tesco was quick to issue an apology.

‘I’m sorry about that. I’ve spoken with Lucy in store and she’s has checked the shelves and the products have been removed,’ it tweeted.
