A woman was left feeling “furious” after finding “some kind of poo” in a salad she bought from Sainsbury’s.

She visited the supermarket in Simone Weil Avenue, Ashford, yesterday at 11am and returned to work to eat her lunch when she noticed the “weird lump”.

Disgusted Ms Osman, who declined to give her first name after approaching KentOnline, immediately returned to the store to complain about what she had found in her £1.90 tomato and cheese Italian salad.

“I had a couple of mouthfuls before I noticed the weird lump,” she said.

“It looked like a mix between a dead mouse or some kind of bird poo. It is so disgusting!”.

After returning to Sainsbury’s, Ms Osman says she felt “disrespected” by staff there.

“It’s made me really upset,” she said.

“The staff did not take it seriously. It almost seemed like a joke to them to find out what the item was.”

Bosses at Sainsbury’s offered Ms Osman a £10 voucher for the inconvenience. But, she declined the “unacceptable” gesture.

“They offered me a £10 voucher and told me some tests need to take place to see what the item actually was,” she said.

“This is not good enough!

“I am worried, to be honest. I ate some of this salad and it could make me ill.”

After further discussion with management, Ms Osman suggested the rest of the salads should be taken off of the shelves in case they are also contaminated.

But Ms Osman says staff refused to do so and told her “nothing more would be done until the further tests are complete”.

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson told KentOnline: “Cases like this are extremely rare and we will investigate with our supplier.

“We have apologised to the customer for her experience and offered a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience.”
