Tooth found in Tesco yoghurt - Polidicks

[quote]A tooth which found its way inside a man’s yoghurt did not enter it during the manufacturing process, according to Tesco. Former corporal, David Casey, 43, was shocked to discover that he had mistakenly bitten into a yellow tooth with a filling attached instead of a piece of fudge inside 68p Tesco’s own Devonshire-Style Fudge Yoghurt. Upon eating the bizarre item on 24 September, disgusted Mr Casey drove to the store at Arena Park, Bedworth, Warwickshire, demanding an explanation. But a full investigation by the supermarket giant with its supplier has since ruled that the tooth did not get inside the pot during production. Mr Casey, who is suffering from stomach cancer, told the Coventry Telegraphy: “Straight away when I saw it, it looked like a tooth. It even had fillings as well. They refunded me the money for the yogurt and said they would send it back for further analysis. “They’ve said sorry for the inconvenience but it’s not inconvenient – it’s disgusting. I could have someone’s scabby tooth in my stomach right now and that would not have been nice.” After the incident, Tesco sent Mr Casey two £15 vouchers, which he returned both times labelling it an ‘insult’. Responding to the incident, a Tesco spokeswoman said on Tuesday: “Food security is something that is taken very seriously and not left to chance. We have carried out a full investigation with our supplier that suggests the tooth did not enter the yoghurt pot during the manufacture process. “Firstly the yoghurt ingredients are passed through a number of fine sieves which would remove any foreign body and the fudge pieces themselves are visually inspected. “The final safeguard is the product passing through a metal detector. We fully appreciate what an unpleasant find this must have been but remain at a loss to explain how the tooth entered the product.” It comes weeks after a separate incident where a family encountered the charred skeletal remains of a dead bird in their salad as they sat down for dinner[/quote] [url]http://uk.news.yahoo.com/tooth-found-in-tesco-yoghurt-%E2%80%98external%E2%80%99.html[/url] First there was a dead bird in a bag of salad, and now this What next Tesco, a horses head in a packet of spaghetti?

Wow they really do have more calcium in them than I thought

Can't they DNA test it to see who it belongs to?

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;33521004]Can't they DNA test it to see who it belongs to?[/QUOTE] it belongs to the yoghurt

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;33521004]Can't they DNA test it to see who it belongs to?[/QUOTE] Any idea who we should test? Asides from Mr. Casey, of course. Otherwise, DNA testing won't reveal much.

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;33521004]Can't they DNA test it to see who it belongs to?[/QUOTE] this isn't CSI, you cant put the tooth in a magical light-blip machine and have it spit out the name of it's original owner. plus that would be a gargantuan waste of effort

Except is he took it home then its probably a hoax.

[QUOTE=J!NX;33521289]Except is he took it home then its probably a hoax.[/QUOTE] Not many people eat yoghurts in stores.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;33521369]Not many people eat yoghurts in stores.[/QUOTE] AFAIK America has this whole like, yoghurt bar thingymabob, Plus nobody would knock their own teeth out just to put it in a yoghurt for shits and giggles.

[QUOTE=Teacher;33521383]AFAIK America has this whole like, yoghurt bar thingymabob, Plus nobody would knock their own teeth out just to put it in a yoghurt for shits and giggles.[/QUOTE]I can imagine a movie-esque action fight at a yoghurt factory when someone's tooth gets knocked out and falls into one of the cups.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;33521441]I can imagine a movie-esque action fight at a yoghurt factory when someone's tooth gets knocked out and falls into one of the cups.[/QUOTE] Here's my theory. Year's back, someone in a chili factory got his finger shot off, and today, he's come back for revenge, now at a yogurt factory, knocked out a lot of teeth, one fell into the yogurt.

It's the first time I've seen yogurt being spelled as Yoghurt. That in itself is more fascinating to me than the article.

[QUOTE=riceyrice;33521668]It's the first time I've seen yogurt being spelled as Yoghurt. That in itself is more fascinating to me than the article.[/QUOTE] Yoghurt is the English spelling. Yogurt is the American spelling.

[QUOTE=Coffee;33521783]Yoghurt is the English spelling. Yogurt is the American spelling.[/QUOTE] yogurt is the correct spelling

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;33521800]yogurt is the correct spelling[/QUOTE] No, actually, Yoghurt is correct, The only reason it's spelt Yogurt in america is because you pronounce it "Yo-Gert" instead of "Yog-urt."

[QUOTE=RobL;33520979] What next Tesco, a horses head in a packet of spaghetti?[/QUOTE] Dude, you're giving them ideas.

[QUOTE=Teacher;33521816]No, actually, Yoghurt is correct, The only reason it's spelt Yogurt in america is because you pronounce it "Yo-Gert" instead of "Yog-urt."[/QUOTE] aka because we're right and you're wrong

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;33521800]yogurt is the correct spelling[/QUOTE] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoghurt#Etymology_and_spelling]Actually the correct spelling is yoğurt, which expands to Yoghurt in Turkish.[/url]

In most of Europe including Sweden and other scandinavian countries it's also spelled Yoghurt. AKA several nations spell it Yoghurt, one nation spells it Yogurt. Bam.

[QUOTE=Eric95;33521920]In most of Europe including Sweden and other scandinavian countries it's also spelled Yoghurt. AKA several nations spell it Yoghurt, one nation spells it Yogurt. Bam.[/QUOTE] Again, it's only spelt Yogurt due to pronounciation.

[QUOTE=Coffee;33521912][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoghurt#Etymology_and_spelling]Actually the correct spelling is yoğurt, which expands to Yoghurt in Turkish.[/url][/QUOTE] so americans are closer to correct so that's good.

And this, gentlemen, is FP. A place where we argue about how yoghurt is spelled

I don't see how something like this could ever happen, sounds like an attempt at getting money. If that's the case, people should really try harder instead of alleging they found a condom in their packed food.

Tesco is a pretty big company, i'm not surprised this stuff happens.

Is his mouth okay?

Ugghghh, i can't even begin to imagine how cringe worthy that could have been for the guy.
