A Braintree mum-of-two was “horrified” amid claims she found a slug in a bag of supermarket potatoes.


Katie Jones, 23, of Gilbert Way, bought the £2.25 bag of white potatoes from the Marks Farm Tesco and was about to make sausage and mash for herself and husband Dan when she claims she spotted the slimy addition.

Mrs Jones, who had only just served up a similar dinner for her children, aged four and two, said:

“My husband was just as disgusted as I was.

“We lost our appetite after that.”

Mrs Jones says she returned to Tesco where she was given a refund and told a report would be sent to head office.

 

A Tesco spokesman said: “We set ourselves very high standards for the safety and quality of our food.
“We’ve given Mrs Jones a full refund and will be looking into the matter.”
