    Let them know, they will know doubt apologise and may offer you some money off vouchers.

    What do you think you are entitled to?

    I'd imagine you'd be entitled to a refund.
  • A refund. Were you harmed?

    You should report it to the food standards agency and ensure a formal complaint is made with birds eye. Also seek a refund from whomever you bought it from or even birds eye themselves.

    But not every near miss is deserving of a money claim.

    Sure its brown glass and not bone as the inside of bown would be brown from the marrow?

    Not saying its any better, but more likely imo.

    What I find surprising is how you managed to chew two large pieces of very sharp glass and not cut yourself.
    I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

    As you haven't actually been injured you aren't entitled to anything more than a refund. However, it is a very serious public health issue so do complain to the company and report it to the Food Standards Agency.
  • I doubt it is very sharp glass if you can indeed chew it without any cuts.
    Thinking critically since 1996....
  • We will now get a flood of reports of people finding brown glass in their birds eye chicken fingers....................

    perhaps the chicken had a glass eye ??

    Contrary to this advice its environmental health you should be speaking to.
