An Aldi customer took to social media to share his confusion after spotting a ‘warranty’ on the receipt for his cheesecake – but there’s an explanation.
Aldi’s ‘Specialbuys’ range is well known for its bargain items, many of which are electrical and typically accompanied by a warranty on the receipt.
Yet, one Aldi customer was left baffled on his recent shopping trip after spotting his cheesecake appeared to come with a warranty too.
Taking to Reddit in bewilderment afterwards, he wrote: “My Aldi cheesecake came with a warranty. Any ideas?”
The receipt snapshot showed “716825 American Cheesecakes” under the bold “Warranty” section. A witty Reddit user responded: “Doesn’t your house insurance specifically have a cheesecake clause? You should look into that ASAP.”
Another joked: “You eat the cheesecake, then you go back with the empty tin and say, ‘I don’t know what happened, but I had a warranty for my cheesecake, and I was wanting to cash in that warranty’. Get the cheesecake replacement then boom cycles continues.”

And a third chimed in: “Does the warranty cover the damage in digestive system? Perpetual cake warranty!”
Eventually, a former Aldi member of staff clarified there had clearly been an amusing mix-up in store.
They explained: “Oh, I can answer this as I used to work for Aldi. 716285 is called the ‘PLU’ or basically the product code.
“The reason why it would have come with a warranty is because that PLU code was most likely used on an older product that came with a warranty (most likely a special buy) and whoever assigned that PLU to that product obviously didn’t remove the warranty – this happens more often than you’d think.”

Grateful for the clarification, another Reddit user responded: “I was going to say this seems to happen fairly often, I’ve had all sorts of random things come with a warranty including nuts and olives. Interesting to know how/why that happens. Thanks!”
