What a shame, the forums had improved so significantly over the last fortnight without this quality of contribution. Still, he nearly spelt it right.

My whole family are veggie and we've had two similar incidents:

a) Mum and Dad bought a vegetarian (V-labelled) pizza from Sainsburys... after cooking, they found a slice of ham on the edge of it (bit smaller than this one, though!). They wrote a letter of complaint and packaged up the ham, submitting their complaint via the store.

They received £20 compensation, and were informed of an investigation at the factory to establish how this had happened and prevent any future contaminations.

b) I bought a carton of Tesco Value orange juice, and halfway through out plopped a huge green insect corpse (literally 2 inches long!). I bagged it up, wrote a letter and submitted it via customer services in-store (who were equally horrified!). I received an immediate refund and, via post a few weeks later, £10 compensation. I don't drink TV juices any more...

I think you're nearly right... It's known as "Hammy mould" to people in the know...

Meh! I'm busy trying to grow ham mould - I could make a fortune

I would go with it being MOULD! MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD!

Have you sniffed it? Does it smell hammy?!?! :-p

The only way it could be ham is if someone put it there as a practical joke, as I very much doubt a piece of ham would be anywhere near a tetra-pak manufacturing line! Bugs sometimes fall in empty cartons/cans as they move along conveyors, but not pieces of ham.

MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD MOULD.

I accept that it could very well be mould.... hence the hole which is about the same size as the spout etc etc. But that hole was caused by the OP's massive finger, when he thought that perhaps a square piece of cardboard had come out a round hole!!!

Just done a quick google search and i'm convinced it's not ham

A survey was undertaken by the Australian Government.

The problem of contamination with moulds and fungus can sometimes occur during the manufacturing stage, should hygienic conditions not be maintained. Upon infestation, yeast is able to multiply and contaminate the product. In extreme cases, withdrawal of the product has been required due to the danger of exploding packaging caused by excessive gas pressure.
To check for yeast contamination, microbiological procedures can be employed, but are labour and time intensive. Instead of this, the laboratory performed alcohol testing as an indicative test because alcohol is a major compound produced by yeast fermentation. The level permitted in non-alcoholic beverages is also standardised and must not exceed 5 mL/L (or 0.5% volume/volume).
