Urghh!

The producer's nightmare.

BRC certified ??

I was rather surprised that the kids seemed to suffer far less reaction than their dad. Not exactly an every day occurrence after all. Well, presumably anyway. :unsure:

The label is ingeniously positioned.

Considering the incident happened nearly 2 years ago, the bread looked remarkably well preserved, less so in the case of the mouse.

Doesn't say too much for the speed of British courts either.

Since audited, un-announced, by Tesco ?? :smile:

From the story

A spokesman for Premier Foods said: "We apologise profusely for the distress caused as a result of this isolated incident.

"As soon as this complaint was made we stopped all bakery production at that site and appointed an independent specialist contractor to conduct a thorough investigation.

"They confirmed this to be an isolated incident, affecting a single product.

"There was no evidence of mice within the bakery and no history of any similar issues."

I didn’t realise mice came in ones. :dunno:

If I were the editor of The Sun I could have had fun with this story.

Were Premiere foods involved with the Sudan II scandal a few years back?
