Excess food items (Chelmsford, CM1)
Two packs of Koko Kids 1L UHT milk substitute. Well in date, but I don't like the taste, too creamy for me. These two are unopened. Five unopened packs of Kallo rice cakes. Four have a BB date of 13th August 2025, one went out of date in April so is probably still OK. I stopped eating rice cakes, nothing wrong with them. Jar of Percol Columbian coffee, 100g. I drank the other jar I had, but I didn't like it. Unopened. Happy to split. Update: Rice cakes and coffee are promised. Koko Kids 1L cartons are still available.
