Hi,

Some guidance please ...

I made a purchase today from Tesco - a pre packed salad of Spinach, Watercress & rocket. It said washed & ready to serve. After opening inside I find a rather large dried dragonfly attached to a leaf of spinach.

Yuk & is this harmful?

& who should I complain to first? Tesco or?

    Sounds bad just tell tesco. Nobody else will do anything.

    If you search the forum for "foreign object in food" you will find lots of similar posts. Reading them may help you prepare for some of the responses this thread will generate.

    It could of been worse, could have been a HORSEfly.

    Why not just go the customer services desk where you made the purchase?

    Would you like to see the person responsible sacked?

    Return packaging and contents to Tesco and they will refund and hopefully offer a freebie: insects do occur outdoors where plants grow tho.

    AFAIK these salads are machine washed in a weak bleach solution but each leaf is not individually inspected by Santa's elves in the off season. Personally I'd be more worried about the pesticides and chlorine than a natural bit of protein.
