 Tesco sells salads with added meat -not horse... - madf
"A shocked couple found a dead bird in their Tesco salad - after they had started tucking into dinner.
James, 30, and Jasmine Watson, 32, of Yate, Gloucestershire, made the grisly find in a £1.50 bag of the supermarket's Babyleaf Rocket Salad when they began eating in dimmed light.
The five-inch bird, which Tesco later identified as a Blackcap European warbler, was inside the salad which Mrs Watson had ordered from the supermarket’s website three weeks ago on January 30.
"

Don't you usually wash salad before serving it?

Not if it is described as "ready to use" or "washed"!

"e had the food delivery a couple of days before and then had gone out for a few drinks"...."Unable to contact Tesco's customer services, the couple went to the local Tesco Extra store that evening"

Hope either the drinks were non-alcoholic or the Tesco Extra was in walking distance!! :-)

I have to say I'm always surprised that this kind of thing happens, there must be so many QA and weight checks (aren't there?) that it must be virtually impossible.

I suppose it's just my suspicious mind leading me to thinking they could have dropped the bird in to get £200 of Tesco vouchers and their 15 minutes of fame......

If you read the DM page, it's not the first case: praying mantis in one!

An insect or a slug, things that live in/on the salad plants, I can understand. But a whole bird?

The same could be said of meat not being what it says on the packet.

I wish they'd gone the whole hog and tested for human DNA in the food chain. What is in that béchamel sauce ?

Probably too big for the salad bag, and you'd have noticed when trying to lift it off the shelf.

Why ? They've changed the labelling to help you out.
The nutritional information has changed from calories to horsepower.

I know the branch of Tescos where this was purchased, and a colleague does her weekly shop there.

She was horrified to find it was the same salad she buys.

I think the whole thing is fake, I mean, who goes out for a few drinks and then comes home and opens a salad!

Exactly Mikey
When you get home after a few drinks you want a pie
Preferably with four and twenty in it.
