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.
