    Kill two birds with one stone: send a picture of it to their Twitter account. You'll likely get a reply and you'll have your publicity.

    A nice letter to the supermarket would likely get you a goodwill gesture of something like a £10 voucher with the supermarket being able to look into how this plastic got there. Everyone a winner.

    best advice on here

    Or even post it on their Facebook page and get a response with an apology and a voucher.

    so just to finish the saga with a "plastic" bread roll I went to the store and complained and was offered £5 voucher, which I did not accept because for me it was never about money and to be honest £5 is an insult because I spent more money to buy lunch because I did not want to eat the rest of rolls which supposed to serve me as lunch at work.

    Think yourself lucky it was a bit of plastic - i once found a cockroach leg in a jar of mixed pickles, and a fingernail that had been chewed off complete with nail varnish in a turkish delight thin.!!

    I think sharp plastic is far more dangerous than a cockroach leg :) I am sure I have heard they like to eat insects in Asia. I never heard of anyone who like to chew on a bit of plastic :)
