What's the worst thing you've found in your food?

[BeanFobbedOff]

...as I found a big insect insect in a tin of beans some weeks ago and am feeling massively fobbed off.

I wasn't looking 'for compo', so I contacted the company directly; they wanted the can and said they'd let me know. They sent me a £10 Morrisons voucher as a goodwill gesture.

They didn't follow up so I contacted them again. Immediately I was sent an attachment, dated that day, basically saying it was a bee, it couldn't have got in there, and IF it did, it would have been deformed due to the high temperatures of the process.

So they fucking think I put it there myself, all for a 10 voucher? Bastards.

Dead cockroach

Also something black and wiggly in a sweet potato ... didn’t complain as it happens with veg but I did throw up and not eat for the rest of the night.

A spiders nest on my bananas from Tesco. When I took them back to the store the lady on the customer service desk said it happens all the time and she used to dread working on the fruit section as it's full of spiders from god knows where. I was sent a letter quite a few months later stating that it was in fact quite a dangerous spiders nest and they gave £50 in vouchers along with (seriously random) a ladies scarf and sandals in my size.

A live fly trapped inside a packet of rolls from the Asda bakery.

A pube in the cream of a bun from the bakery.

Short dark hair in my chinese. Which has actually happened 3 or 4 times from various places.

I wasn't thrilled to find some silver tinsel in a vegetable samosa. The dead cockroach was worse though.

A fingernail in a can of diet coke. I fished it out of my mouth....

This has put me off ever wanting to eat anything ever again..

Another one with a live caterpillar! He was curled up inside a fresh raspberry. I set him free in the garden and was berated by the work ladies for introducing a foreign species as the label on the raspberries said they were from Morroco!

Calories. There seems to be a prolific amount in everything I eat........

A whole jay cloth in a loaf of bread from sainsburys

@QuestionableMouse I used to work in the factory that produced M&S cakes and that doesn't surprise me one bit!

A huge, green live moth in a pack of Tesco salad. I tell myself the fact the Eric the moth flew off unscathed was a good thing (for him).

Eeww!

Yikes, woman in Rochdale beats us all into a cocked hat:

That deserves a dm sad face. Ugh

I remember watching a documentary years ago on a fishing boat. The crew was asked if they ever ate the fish they caught on board, and they replied they'd never eat cod because it's infested with worms. Right then I decided if the men who are out there in all weathers, risking their lives in rough seas won't eat it, neither will I!

Poking through a frozen lasagne I found a maggot. Never eaten lasagne again.

In the US, we had a long drive, stopped at an Arby's at the motorway services. Took food to go. Unwrapped my sadwich to find a large spider smeared inside the wrapper...

I've posted, elsewhere, about my Grandfather, who was a fisherman for many, many years - he stated that fish were full of worms + that cod was the "dirtiest" fish in the sea (scavenger).
In later years, my uncle (also fisherman for many years) - berated the fish-farms (diseases/antibiotics).
I love fish/seafood - still eating it, despite knowledge of all the contamination/pollution in our seas/oceans.
Won't eat proper sushi
