ASDA - Added Extras in Tins

Options
I am unsure where to put this post, if someone could move it this would be appreciated.

We just doing some cooking and whilst emptying the tin of chopped tomato's, a sharp black object was mixed in with the tomato's, what can i do to complain as theres no phone or contact details for asda on the tin.

At least we noticed it before cooking and then eating the meal, might have caused some damage if tried to eat this. Raisin Box used for size.

Or should I report this to someone else as well,

any advice appreciated.

    Contact your local environmental health department. They will need you to keep the tin and contents. They will tell you whether you should take it back to the store or if they want to deal with it.
