Horrified shopper found rotting carcas of a baby crow in an Aldi salad
Steven Bell, 49, had already eaten half of the Nature’s Pick Bistro Salad from his local store in Kirkcaldy, Fife
A security guard tucked into an Aldi salad on his lunchbreak and found a dead bird.
Horrified Steven Bell gagged when he spotted the rotting carcas after he’d already eaten half of the mixed leaves.
Steven, 49, said: “That’s the last time I go for the healthy option- I was absolutely shocked.
“I was worried I could’ve got bird flu from it.
“Aldi have sent the bird off for testing and analysis and say they think it’s a baby crow.
“They’ve offered me a £50 goodwill voucher but I turned it down until the report comes back in case it’s got a serious disease in it.”
The dead bird was in a bag of the budget supermarket’s Nature’s Pick Bistro Salad that he bought from his local store in Kirkcaldy, Fife, last week.
The packet boasts that the salad is “washed and ready to eat.”
Steven added: “I took it to work on Friday for my lunch and opened the bag - I put half the salad in a container with some chicken.
“I ate it all, then about two hours later I went to eat the rest of the salad and emptied the contents of the bag into my container from earlier.
“That’s when the dead bird fell out.
“I didn’t actually throw up but I felt so sick.”
In 2011, Tesco apologised after a customer found a “decomposed and skeletal” bird in one of its salads in Somerset.
