Schoolgirl aged six rushed to hospital after drinking milk contaminated with GLUE

A six-year-old had to be rushed to hospital after drinking supermarket-bought milk contaminated with glue

Jessica Bamford took a gulp from the Iceland carton when a ‘white hardened substance’ formed in and around her mouth.

She instantly spat it out and her panicked parents rushed her to the hospital, leaving the little girl feeling ‘shaken up’.

The incident took place after Jessica returned from school and told her mum she wasn't feeling well, so went to get a drink from the fridge.

She unscrewed the blue top and took a sip straight from the carton, when the milk began solidifying in her mouth.

Samantha, Jessica’s mum said that she has contacted the supermarket chain, who told her that before they investigate, she needs to send a hospital note with the milk, which would take seven days.

She said: 'By then the milk will be gone off and it will be contaminated anyway.

'If she had swallowed it would have been a really major situation.'

A spokesperson from Iceland said: 'We are sorry to hear about this issue, but we would like the chance to investigate.

'We would advise she call our customer call team so they can investigate the matter further.'

Jessica has now returned to full health but but has now swapped her normal breakfast of cereal for toast.
