    Not to mention the fact that you now have to prepare an alternative.

    wow, opening another tin, well in OP's case it won't be another tin of Heinz beans, maybe Branston?

    Personally I always have a large stock of food in the house, not everyone can afford to do that though.

    That would depend on the foreign object. It would vary in value depending in whether I was certain it came from the production process.

    A number of years ago I found a plaster off someone's finger in a loaf of bread. My wife was pregnant at the time and the bakery made us a free christening cake.

    And I bet you still use the bakery now.

    If you had went the legal route you could never set foot in that shop again. In your case a mistake was made, these things happen, they put it right and more and I bet you were happy with the outcome, and the shop still has a customer.

    The problem is there are too many other people who want to get something for nothing when there was no harm done. If they had eaten the glass that's another issue and I am sure it would be taken seriously by both Heinz and Environmental Health.

    And if you found no way it could be from the process?

    There are too many people who lie for compo in the world to make large pay outs feasible.

    It would depend on how often it happened.

    I found a little creature in a twix once. I sent it and the twix away (what was left of it after I'd taken a bite) and received a lengthy letter thanking me very much and they were going to send it away for analysis.

    Months and months later - about six I think - I had another letter thanking me very much and the final results were now in.

    It was 'a bug'.
