I think I found a rat in my Aldi crisps (not Lidl)

Been to see environmental health and they are still testing it, they said it was definitely not a rodent or any animal. The guy squeezed it and sniffed it and said it was a black waxy substance probably burnt fat built up in the production machinery. It definitely smelled disgusting and made me wretch when I was brave enough to smell it at home. Will let you know the test results. Regarding the school comments, I left college back in 1998 so its a bit too late for me.

I was thinking £200 compo because a mouse in your food is quite shocking, but as its not id be happy with anything, even a fiver

Thank god it wasn't Lidl

I work for Lidl so I wanted to make it clear so there was no confusion. I will post test results when I get them. It wasn't an animal of any kind just some sort of debris

You've got a free lump of burnt fat. What more do you want?

Why on earth would you have thought it was a rat ?

Free money, of course.
A lump of burnt fat equals no "compo", a dead rodent on the other hand...

Personally, I'd have just thrown it in the bin...

So you're in your forties and your first thought was 'it's a rat'?

I hope you are happy that you have wasted tax payers money - and you are still wanting compensation ? replacement cost for one packet of crisps should suffice

Just to be absolutely clear this definitely wasn't Tesco then?

They must be really bad if you don't shop at Lidl.
