Wow! If its £100 for a fly - imagine what they would pay if you found a horse in your loaf!!:rotfl:

Why can't people be nice? the poor soul came on here to ask for advice, yet some, who doubt whether this person is telling the truth, feel the need to be nasty instead of simply ignoring the post.

You were right to report it, i certainly wouldn't want a disease-ridden fly on anything I eat - it would be the same as spreading dog crap on it before eating it.

Good on you for getting the vouchers...a nice little bonus for the inconvenience.

What do you call a fly with no wings? A WALK:rotfl:

Possibly because anyone else would just take it back to the store without asking what to do and chasing down compensation!

there are tests that are performed that can determine if the fly (or anything else) got into the produce or if it was put there deliberately.

A fly is a fly

If the fly in the packaging is a British fly what tests would be possible to show how it got there?

Maximum permitted levels for defects / contamination are a maximum not target! Manufacturers would of course work to ensure extraneous matter / foreign material is as low as possible.

You cannot stop flies but food processors, manufacturers, etc are expected to have procedures in place to minimise risks. Use of fly screens, cleanign procedures, use of insectocutors, etc.

HACCP plans in place require that foreign matter does not enter the food.
the processes for testing at which point foreign matter got into foodstuffs include chemical analyses of the material to test particulate residue, chemical breakdown during heating processes etc. Needless to say they are too boring to mention here. but exist they do. I don't think people realise the lengths that the food industry has to go through in order to comply with legislation.

OP Silkysmooth,

I have no hesitation in accusing you of lying.

£100 Yeah right!

I belive the OP as i know someone who works in a instore bakery.

And they will give anything to stop the customer going to Trading Standards. I think the most i heard was £500. Where the bread gets made on the rollers a bit of it came off (like a bit of string) and went into the bread itself so no one could see it.

But vouchers are handed out between £10-£200 daily to stop people going to TS and getting fines of £1000's
