hence my question "what would readers here assume "traces of bone" or "a piece of bone" in a chicken pie (approx 5" diameter) should equate to...

1/8 inch
1/4 inch
1/3 inch
1/2 inch"

I am trying to guage what is an acceptable size and whether or not standards and safeguards are enough for a piece of bone approx an inch long and 1/3" diameter (leg bone) in a small pie also if others believe the reply is dismissive

so thanks for taking the time to reply to the "traces of bone" question, perhaps you could spare a bit of time now to answer the other bits?:beer:

It doesnt matter what size the pie was. It all comes out of a massive vat of chicken and sauce and then filled automatically into pies. Maybe one day they will do a run of small pies the next day a size up and so forth.

there is no formula.

you got a tenner off them what more do you want?

Sorry you are getting such a lot of unhelpful replies, mamabuddah .

I know exactly what you are getting at.

It's clear that the size of the piece of bone found in your pie is unacceptable and the supermarket acknowledge that by sending a voucher.

Assuming they use a reputable supplier I would imagine that a piece of bone that size is extremely rare and whilst the supermarket haven't made a big deal about it to you I'm sure that they will have kicked up quite a stink with the supplier.

why exactly is it unhelpfull just becuase it doesnt state - yeah, its disgracefull, take them to Brussels for infringement of your human rights and contact a no win no fee solicitor to claim for xxxxx amount of pounds?

The fact they have sent a voucher means nothing. Just a goodwill gesture. Send an email/letter to most companies about almost anything and they will send you some vouchers.

Its a piece of a chicken. In a chicken pie.

Malory

You are implying that your mum being 90 is a factor in her risk for choking, which implies that she might be having trouble chewing or swallowing.

If that is the case, then she should be cutting her food into teeny pieces before she puts it in her mouth and chewing thoroughly (as much as she can) before swallowing, so that if there is anything unusual in her food she will feel it in her mouth and can spit it out.

People choke because they gulp their food down without paying attention to what is in their mouth, or because they are holding something in their mouth and not thinking about it.)

(I once choked on something and stopped breathing. I had food in my mouth and was singing a song in my head - my vocal muscles were moving, even though I wasn't making any noise, and I didn't realize it.)

If I were going to find a piece of bone in my pie, I think I'd like it to be on the larger side anyway; less chance of eating it. I don't mean the size of an entire leg or skull or something; that would be ridiculous. But the size in the picture's fine. That pie looks awfully dry though.

And interestingly enough, no attempt to eat it, it's still in its foil wrapper.. Hmmm.....

once the bone was discovered, as you can imagine, no more pie was ate, pie was put back in tin foil container to return to store...

if you take time to read the OP you'll see, my mum isn't wanting to sue, myself or my mum aren't looking for compensation...I've merely stated what has happened so far, the response received ( they're going to "tell" the supplier ) and am still curious as to what is an "acceptable" size of a piece of bone before it will be taken seriously....by the supermarket....and the manufacturer....


my final line in the OP states...

"I just get the impression that the supermarket hasn't really looked at this properly, hence my question, what do readers here think "traces of bone" should mean."

so it's not about compensation or claiming anything, it's about what's acceptable and what may cause suffering to some other unfortunate person if the supermarket dismiss the problem so flippantly.

they would have told the manufacturer about this as they dont make the pies themselves and no doubt the manufacturer is looking into it.

It wouldn't surprise me that if you now ate another 1000 of the same pies you wouldn't get a bit of bone in.

Things like this happen.. why cant you just let it go? you say they are being flippant - I'd say your being a bit over the top.
