Dead Lizard Found Floating In Can Of Tomatoes
Curry is a wonderful dish for anyone who loves spicy food and is feeling a bit hungry. Unfortunately for a couple, neither of them retained their hunger after finding a dead lizard floating in a can of tomatoes they intended to use, reports Daily Mail.
Muhammad and Sanam Hussain were in the process of making curry when they discovered the dead reptile in their tomatoes. Speaking with BBC, the two explained their discovery and how they felt following it. Muhammad said:
“My wife was making lunch for me and our 15-month-old son. When she opened the can, she saw something and screamed at me to come through. I saw it was a dead baby lizard. We are worried about food poisoning. The can was part of a pack of 12. We had already eaten seven of them. Now my wife is off her food. I think we have been put off tinned tomatoes for life.”
The couple purchased the package of canned tomatoes from a local Asian supermarket near them in Birmingham. The store, called Euro Foods, have announced they are investigating the incident. The supermarket has already called their supplier in Italy and are making sure something like this doesn’t happen again. They release a statement, which reads: “This is a major concern. We are in touch with the family and are going to collect the offending can and have it analysed to see at what stage of the process the lizard got introduced. Once we have investigated, we will put in controls to stop this happening again.”
