These ??? Sundried tomatoes ... Surely it's this with the seeds.

FizzyApricot · 30/04/2021 17:17

Ooh maybe/hopefully

Bertiebiscuit · 30/04/2021 17:31

Ewwwwwww now I feel sick too and glad I always make my own

Crikey!

Mould

MrsPinkingtonSmythe · 30/04/2021 17:34

I'm imaging people in white jackets wearing safety goggles dissecting it and rubbing their chins to come up with what it could be. Then the realisation dawns...... Its a sun-dried tomato Grin

Looks like burnt tomato to me.

Dontwanttolivewithmylover · 30/04/2021 17:35

Looks like haemorrhoids to me 😧

I'd say ignorance is bliss, in this case.

Ddot · 30/04/2021 17:59

Wrap it up and send to company on jar, may get a box of pasta sauce out of it

I agree that you should keep a bit of it in case they deny its existence afterwards. I’d get the jar and photograph it beside the jar if I were you.
I’d say it’s some form of tomato also.

MrsWinkly · 30/04/2021 18:08

I think it's my missing kidney.
Sorry Grin

Wow, the overreaction to a mouldy thing on here is the astonishing thing. Just email the manufacturer with photos.

Dontwanttolivewithmylover · 30/04/2021 18:14

To be serious, I'd send the jar (plus yukky object) back with the receipt - if you still have it.
I sent photos and email to Primark after finding a cockroach in the sleeve of packaging. They sent prepaid returns package to send socks back. I said socks were fine, it was just a heads up in case there was an infestation in that warehouse.
They wanted socks, I sent them and they sent me £50 e-gift card.
Sainsbury's did exactly the same 3 years ago when I returned cheap (£7) pack of 2 pillow cases which were horrible material. I expressly said...NO compensation thank you but the supermarket sent £7 gift card, executive office sent another £7 gift card and later, a £50 cheque. I rang to say I really didn't want anything and had not complained as such, just didn't like the material.
I was told to 'enjoy' the money.

Dontwanttolivewithmylover · 30/04/2021 18:15

BTW, the Primark socks were only £5.

Ddot · 30/04/2021 18:28

Over dried tomato but looks grim.
I once found moths in my Muesli not good

JovialNickname · 30/04/2021 18:37

Maybe you should eat it and tell us what it tastes like, that might give us a clue Grin

CherryRipe1 · 30/04/2021 18:44

@JulesJules

I think you are right, especially as it lives in tomatoes. It is gross to the max.

Would you still want to use their pasta sauce after this!?!

winterchills · 30/04/2021 18:54

I'm intrigued to know! Make sure you keep it to send back to the company 🤢

Suipigz · 30/04/2021 18:58

A cooked slug by the looks 🤢

All my vomit making juices are flowing 🤭

purplebunny2012 · 30/04/2021 19:10

Looks like some kind of mollusc to me

footballfan1963 · 30/04/2021 19:18

No way is that a sun dried tomato! Sorry OP.

Anonmousse · 30/04/2021 19:24

When we were kids I found a live maggot in a bag of dried fruit, newly opened. My mum promptly took it back to tesco who refunded. Then she wrote to the brand and explained. They sent a snotty letter back basically accusing her of lying and explaining how their packing process meant it couldnt have been possible for a maggot to get in, but enclosed a voucher for something like 10p off!!Hmm
