Found/half - ate a plaster in a Tesco Hot cross Bun

wiseman3175

Well - I think the thread title summarises it all. I was merrily eating a hot cross bun from tesco and I thought, this seems a bit chewy. Well, being polite and all that, I spat it out into my hanky (my wife says I should upgrade to tissues with all the swine flu) and to my disgust there was a plaster there. Not one of the blue ones you'd expect a caterer to wear, but a white material based one. (Which is why I didn't see it when I popped it in my mouth.)

Now I have no idea what to do now and was hoping for a little bit of direction from the good people on this site. Obviously I haven't taken it back to the shop as I'd probably just get my £1 back and an apology that no-one actually meant.

Basically I want to know who it belonged to, and if I need to get tested for anything. (Hopefully the cooking of the bun will have killed any diseases, but you never know in this hysterical day and age). So who do I complain/speak to, do I go to Tesco to give them a chance to sort it out, or is it a case for Trading Standards or Health & Safety (give them something to do for a change...)

Any advice, and addresses will be gratefully received, but I'm not looking to take anyone to court for millions!

Environmental health are most definately the people to speak to !!

put the plaster in a plastic lunch bag and seal it or a lock and lock box

also keep any left over bun and the packaging as the packaging is what will be used to track production back to the begining

I am in agreement with you that the plaster should have been blue... beggars belief where it came from...
