Their nuggets carry the standard warning (presumably it was a small bone if it was inside one of the nuggets)

Just about to say most companies/ restaurant now remind people that meat has bones in it

Eat something the other day and the packet said it could even contain 'small stones' - cant remember what it was now

then I suggest, and this IS serious, that you both consider adopting a vegetarian lifestyle.

Good advice, although you know they'll be here next complaining that there is a bit of soil on their veg that was grown in the ground. :eek:

OP, if you have cooked a chicken before how come you were not aware that chicken products may contain bits of chicken, which could include bones?

I still think it's a wind-up.

i get the point what i wanted was advice and feedback not puerile sarcasm.

Thanks again for your feedback.
It does say on the packet may conatin bones but i think until you are actually eating something and bite into one you never really appreciate what a disturbing thing it is.

I hope Martin realises what a supportive bunch he has abusing his forums.

We are supportive, but you've come on asking for compensation for eating a packet of nuts that may contain nuts!

You've jumped the gun, not read the warnings on the packet, disengaged your common sense brain cells and think you are due money from a company that provides food from animals that may contain bones :eek: Sheesh!.

"Never before though have i eaten a product made from chicken and found a bone stuck in the middle of it!"

I have, that would be called a leg, thigh, wing etc.! Never eaten one of those?!

I think what people are getting at is that it was not a foreign body that was in your food. You expect chickens to have bones. Therefore it is not unreasonable to expect to find a bit of chicken bone in chicken products now and again. It is the price we pay for having someone else do all the hard work for us (killing, skinning/plucking, bleeding, curing etc).


I've found chicken bones in products before and its never put me off, just put it on the side of the plate. However, when I was a child, i choked on a fish bone and nearly died and ever since even the smell of fish sickens me. However given that I was at an impressionable age and the choking part.......perhaps more understandable why I would have an aversion to fish.

You cant claim compo for coulda woulda shoulda. You could've choked on it, you didn't. Its a bit like walking over a wet floor, not falling and then trying to claim compensation because you COULD have fell. What could have happened is not important. What actually happened is.

If we all thought about what could happen, we'd go crazy. Go outside, could get knocked over, stabbed, raped, mugged. Stay inside? Well dont 70 or 75% of all accidents happen at home? Burn yourself, slip in the shower/bath, fall down stairs etc.


By all means complain to the retailer and they may give you a goodwill gesture. But being given a goodwill gesture and being entitled to compensation are 2 completely different things. Good luck with your complaint, keep it simple and to the point

Do people wait around on this site for people to ask something that they can take the mick out of??

Yup. This is an open forum - anyone can post.

If someones annoyed about a chicken bone in their tea, surely they're allowed to voice it on here? isn't that the point?

Yes again. But similarly, all the other someones are allowed to voice their annoyance as well.
