A fingernail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a tub of morrisons eat smart cottage cheese friday. Came home from work at lunch today and decided to have it on toast. I put bread in toaster, opened tub of cc, took out a fork full and proceeded to eat. Left with a hardish chewy bit, removed it and to my horror it was a large fingernail!!!!!:eek:

Phoned them up and they said " bring it back and we will send it off for analasys".

I am absolutely heart sick. It gas grossed me out like nothing ever before. And they said it could take up to 10 weeks for a result.

    Moral of this story is don't eat cottage cheese - it'll put you off your food ;)

    Yuck! id take it in store and ask to speak to the manager. Once you send it off, you have no proof of it so keep it and hand it to someone face to face

    Happened to me once - found what certainly looked like a fingernail in a pork pie. Supermarket sent it off for analysis, reported that it was actually a piece of plastic (yeah right...) and gave me £10 to shut me up.

    Are you sure it was a finger nail? It might be a toe nail.

    dont take it to the store - go to the health dept

    if you take it to the store they will give you a voucher or something but the health dept will look at the makers of the food to see why its happened

    you then have legal proof to make a proper claim or threaten too
    its worth alot more than a £20 voucher
