Dead bird found in bag of Tesco salad

A family in Somerset got more than they bargained for when eating a bag of ready-to-eat salad bought at Tesco – a dead bird.

Bought from the Burnham-on-sea branch, Paul Streeter from Weare, Somerset, said his girlfriend was sick after the carcass was discovered in the baby leaf and rocket salad.

Neither he, nor his vegetarian wife, could believe their eyes, especially as his wife was seconds away from eating the decomposed and shrivelled bird. Upon investigation it was thought the bird was a baby starling.

There will be some red faces at Tesco, and their supplier, who said it would be conducting a “thorough investigation”.
