I've looked through the Product terms and conditions on the Tesco site and it doesn't say anything about the freshness or sell by dates. It must have been another supermarket and the only other one that I have looked at was Asda. Perhaps you could, as they say, vote with your feet and shop at Asda. I'm going to give Tesco customer services a ring as I can't read sell by dates so I don't know how fresh their products are. I just presumed that they would be sending the freshest products. I may be shopping at Asda myself.

Ok I should of possible stated a longer date but haven't any of there pickers got any common sense or is this asking to much of them. I am really steaming over this one as this isn't the first time this has happened to me. If I have to I will start shopping some were else were they do take care of there customers.
