Woman finds mouse in bag of chips

A London woman has received an apology and £50 in vouchers after she found a dead mouse in a bag of oven chips.

The woman, who bought the bag from her local Co-op store in Poplar, East London, thought that the offending item was a black chip before closer inspection revealed the grisly truth. The discovery comes soon after an Oxfordshire resident also found a dead mouse, this time in a loaf of bread bought from Tesco.

Stephen Forse was making sandwiches for his children when he noticed a dark object in the corner of some of the slices of bread. Thinking there was an innocent explanation for it, he looked closer to find that the object had fur on it. The production firm responsible was fined £17,000.

Winston Solicitors handled our recent house purchase and sale and provided an excellent service throughout. Sidraa Razaq, supported by Tom McIlroy, exhibited an outstanding professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness from te moment we first made contact, all of which made what was at times a less than straightforward transaction much easier to navigate. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.
