Non-essential ingredients

This week Premier Foods was ordered to pay nearly £17,000 in Oxford crown court after a dead mouse was found in a loaf of bread. Stephen Forse had already fed slices of the loaf to his children when he spotted "a dark-coloured object embedded in the corner of three or four slices". This blotch turned out to be an ill-fated rodent, complete with ears and fur (minus the tail). Finding odd objects in your lunch turns out to be a startlingly common occurrence. Take the dead frog found in Fred DeNegri's Diet Pepsi can, or the Halloweenesque nightmare of biting into a seven-inch kitchen knife , as was lodged in Martin Venner's Subway roll. Premier Foods was also fined earlier this year after a woman from Northern Ireland found her loaf a tad on the woven side. A whole oven glove was baked into it. Have you found any surprise ingredients in your dinner? Perhaps you found a cricket in a Snickers bar and sued for £1,000, or a finger in your custard and got sent some apologetic vouchers. We'd like to know your stories.
