Tesco Shopper Finds TOENAIL Stuck To Supermarket Marshmallow

Grossed-out young mum Sam Deacon had her stomach turned when she opened these Tesco marshmallows - and found a toenail inside.

Cake shop owner Sam, 29, bought the supermarket sweet treats to use in her creations.

Despite her horror at nearly putting what she believes could be a toenail in her mouth, the 29-year-old is relieved she didn't use it for a client's cake.

Had she served-up the body part, Sam believes her business could have been closed down.

Sam, from South Wimbledon, South West London, said: 'Marshmallows are Charley's favourite treat so she talked me into opening them. We were down to our last two in the packet when she noticed something hard on one of them.

'She took it off and we looked at it, thinking it was a bit of hard sugar. Then a realised it was a nail.

'I instantly felt sick. I couldn't believe we had been eating the marshmallows that had been touching it. I'm very angry, but if she had eaten it, I would have been furious.

'Charley now won't touch another marshmallow – this has put her off for life.'

A Tesco spokesperson said: 'We set ourselves the highest standards for our products and are always disappointed when a customer is dissatisfied.

We have strict processes in place to ensure incidents like this do not occur.

'Our customer service team have apologised for any distress caused and asked Mrs Deacon to return the product to her nearest store. We will then carry out an investigation and update her with our findings.'
