A Woolworths customer has taken aim at the supermarket giant after spotting a new aisle sign at his local store.
Sharing on Twitter, the shopper posted a photograph of the section which included shelves packed with cans of Spam, Heinz Baked Beans, cocktail frankfurts and tinned corned beef.
The sign hanging over the array of products reads “Canned Meals”.

In their post, the Woolies customer said he was concerned to see the retailer classify such items as “meals”.
“Seeing aisles of canned meals, with Spam and Baked Beans below, isn’t cutting it,” he wrote.
“Categorising these foods into a ‘Meal’ is a misstep. Our children deserve better nutrition standards.”
A closer look at the display shows that there are various varieties of tinned baked beans, spaghetti as well as an array of tinned processed meats, including ham, corned beef, sausages, burger meat and beef goulash.
Canned deli food and meat options are usually high in salt and fat and can have a poor health rating.
However, the section also includes healthier options, including tuna lunch packs, vegetable curries and soups.
In response to the customer’s complaint, a Woolworths representative said they were keen to look into the matter.
This isn’t the first time a Woolworths aisle sign sparked debate among shoppers.
In 2021, the supermarket group created headlines when it changed the name of its “Feminine Hygiene” section – selling tampons and sanitary pads – to “Period Care”.
At the time, Woolworths said the move was designed to end the “embarrassing” stigma attached to women’s periods.
