Dead Mouse Found In Loaf of Bread

Stephen Forse was making sandwiches for his children when he noticed a dark-coloured object embedded in some of the  slices.
A moment later he understood, there was a dead mouse in the loaf of bread he was slicing.
"As I looked closer, I saw that the object had fur on it,"Stephen Forse said.
As a result,  the maker of this Hovis loaf has been fined because of the dead mouse found in the aforementioned sandwich bread.

For whatever it's worth, Mr Forse bought the bread from Tesco Online.

To make matters worse, the mouse was without a tail.
Mr Forse felt ill when he realozed no one knew where the tail was. (anyone want to guess?)
He said,"Had it fallen off prior to the bread being wrapped or had any of my family eaten it with another slice of bread on a previous day?"

The manufacturer is Premier Foods and they have been fined £5,500 and ordered to pay an additional £11,109.47 in costs at Oxford Crown Court for failing to maintain  standards at their site in Mitcham, south London.
A spokesman for Premier Foods said: "We apologize profusely for the distress caused as a result of this isolated incident."

Isolated?
That remains to be seen or perhaps eaten.
