Tesco responds to ‘tooth in yogurt’ complaint
It has been reported that a former corporal, David Casey, has found someone else’s tooth full of fillings in a Tesco fudge flavoured yogurt.
The 43-year-old put the tooth in a bag and drove straight up to the Tesco store to complain. He was given a 68p refund.
Tesco has twice sent Mr Casey a £15 voucher, which he has returned both times labelling it an ‘insult’.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “Food security is something that is taken very seriously and not left to chance. We have carried out a full investigation with our supplier that suggests the tooth did not enter the yogurt pot during the manufacture process.
“Firstly, the yogurt ingredients are passed through a number of fine sieves which would remove any foreign body and the fudge pieces themselves are visually inspected. The final safeguard is the product passing through a metal detector. We fully appreciate what an unpleasant find this must have been but remain at a loss to explain how the tooth entered the product.”
