My mum opened her cheese curls (copy of quavers) and found a big black thing in her packet (I think I saw a tooth), she spat out her crisps and couldnt eat her lunch after that. I've contacted environmental health and we will visit our local offices tomorrow. Any advise would be welcome

Unless you have a compensation figure in mind ?
Expect a £15-25 voucher at best if proved to be a rat and not a burnt quaver

Did it squeak as she opened it ? Did it bite her ? Did she not notice that her c.20g bag of cheesy curls weighted a damn sight more than 20g and was soft & squidgy ?
People getting something for free and they still want compo.
As you still have the bag, "rat", receipt and lots of photos and you don't get what you want from this you could try the national papers but you may have to practice your "shocked and horror look" for the photo.
Or you could just let go.
They look like a big blob of black gunk.
Anyway, a rat won't fit in a bag of crisps...maybe it's a mouse!!
This should now read "It's time to start digging up those Squirrelled Nuts"!!! :j:j:j
At the moment you "think" you found a rat. Come back to us when you have proof.

I would be holding out for £1000s, and if you cried a little £10,000s.
