beware frozen sausage rolls (do not read if you are queezy)

I I know there is a thread somewhere about stuff found in food but I cannot find it.

My daughter has just bit into a sausage roll I baked on Sunday (and have kept in a tupaware box).

She screamed and spat out as it felt funny. I checked and the whole mass of sausage meat was moving.:eek:

I screamed and threw it across the room!

Panic now over. All been binned, daughter has scrubbed mouth and gargled mouthwash and ate a ton of sweets. NHS Direct are not worried.

I flippin am! What the hell was it? I am too scared of going to the bin and inspecting. I feel so ill and guilty. daughter is fine till she thinks about it then feels ill and panics.

They were Teswco or Asda frozen sausage rolls. Bag was thrown away on Sunday

If you baked it on Sunday then whatever is "moving" in it ie alive must have come into it since then. It you baked them enough to cook the meat then anything still alive would have died.

I wouldn't have thought anything could have survived the freezing stage and then the cooking stage

did you leave them out to cool uncovered on the side ? As previous poster said, if they had been cooked enough to cook the filling, it seems likely that anything already in there was cooked too !

You said that you kept them in a tupaware box, but don't mention putting them in the fridge? I assume that they were refrigerated but had to query just in case !! I could imagine eggs being laid in them as they cooled, then developing over the last few warm days, especially if not kept in the fridge

no macroscopic lifeform can survive both freezing and oven temperatures as far as I know. In fact most bacteria/virus's can't, bar a few which can create cysts which can survive the processes, but it's hardly common. I imagine what's more likely is that maybe after cooking you left them out too cool? A fly landed on one and laid it's eggs in the sausage roll, the eggs hatch pretty quickly and so you then got maggots eating the sausage roll from within.

That or...tbh I have no idea. I'd have a look personally, it'll just be some sort of insect if anything, hardly "ewww", unfortunately the illogical fear of insects, especially in females, is still passed down from mother to daughter. Rather then calmly removing or killing a spider when their little child comes across one, the parents instil the idea that their creepy, got lots of legs which is somehow "gross" and are dangerous, when they are helpful if anything(unless you like flies...). Not a personal observation, just a general comment on society...more Western actually and folks abroad can be more calm about it, I suppose because they can more species in the home then we do.

you are all absolutely right. Rational thinking has now set in and a fly must have got to them whilst they cooled. The box was next to the bread bin, not in the fridge!

Physical damage zero. Emotional damage to me and daughter Horrific.

mummy needs to go sit on the naughty step.

big hug!

At least we've worked out what happened though - for me, the not knowing where they came from would be a big part of the discomfort.

I'm sure a big bar of chocolate will soothe away all the bad memories
