    I mean YUK! its a whole tooth (pretty much!) what else is going in our prepared food, some disgruntled employee could pleasure themselves into your cheese spread and all sorts!

    Unless you plan on buying a cow and making cheese yourself from scratch (along with everything else), I'm really not sure how you want to avoid this. You prepare thousands of meals in your kitchen and its inevitable that a small portion of them will have a hair or some other contaminating substance in them.

    How something accidentally ending up in your food equates to someone deliberately putting something in your food, I don't know. I imagine the dozens/hundreds of other people on the production line would be quite a dampener for any cheese enamoured enthusiast.

    Once again, what is it you expect? If you want this issue to consume your very existence, then go ahead but few on here will care.

    I once had the misfortune of having raw sewage in my mouth (and sadly I did swallow, but please, don't ask) but once I had spit a few times, I just got on with it. A tooth, strewth!

    So what are you going to do then?

    I don't think you even know though. You've probably just come here hoping someone will tell you to claim loads of compensation.

    Inflation must be really bad when the tooth fairy brings £10 Tesco gift cards.

    If i were you i'd take Tesco to Court to claim damages.

    Yes, it was unpleasant.
    No, you are not going to catch anything as a result.
    a£10 gift card seems reasonable.
    The fact that you chose to throw away other tesco packaged food was your choice - it wasn't necessary, and as different types of food will be processed and packaged separately it's not even very logical, as the chances are that the other items you bought were sourced and packaged in different factories than the item that included the tooth.
