I've just sat down to eat a pot of jelly, and when I peeled it open, inside there was a green chalky gunk on the top with specs of green chalky gunk inside the jelly itself. I've taken a photo:
The Jelly
I've been eating this brand of jelly for a while and this is the first time I've seen anything like it. WTF.

Looks like mould to me, I expect there was a hole in the lid.

Hmmm I'm not so sure. The pot has been refrigerated since it was purchased yesterday.
Looks like mould to me too!

it's odd how it's grown in the middle...

Mould, unsealed jelly is excellent at growing mould.
Lab culture plates are glorified jelly.

Someone at the factory stuck their finger in it.

I've contacted the company and saved the offending item.

Mould! Not nice in a sealed pot, send photo to the manufacturer.
You can tell it's from a hole in the top, due to the cluster. If it were from an unsealed pot, the mould would start at the edge and work its way round/out.
Just take it back, or complain directly to manufacturer. MAybe you'll get some free jelly?

Oh god, that reminds me of a petri dish in a biology class when I was about eleven.

Hardly the manufacturers fault if theres a hole in the lid. It could have happened anywhere.
Just chuck it away.

Definitely mould - I found a LIVE caterpillar in my "washed in spring water and ready to eat" naice salad leaves today.
Complained and compensation will be with me next week along with a letter detailing the outcome of the investigation they started today.
Naice leaves = naice company = NAICE customer service

I found a live caterpillar in my plastic packed brocolli during the summer. Tesco were not very interested.

I think you might get a voucher for another pot of jelly. not £3000000000000 for a bit of mould.

That sure looks like mold.
I found black mold on the inside of the lid when I opened a new jar of mayonnaise. I returned it to the store and got another one. I guess from time to time something doesn't seal properly.
