A mum was left gagging after tearing open a carton of Aldi tomato juice – to discover what looked like a “fetus” inside.
Disgusted Jade Smith found the “vile object” after she bought the juice to make a Bloody Mary cocktail.
The 29-year-old said the mystery object looked like a fetus because it had “an eye and two little legs”.
Mum-of-two Jade, from Bristol, said: “It was awful.
“I opened it and it didn’t feel right, so for some reason I decided to open the actual container. When I shook it, it felt like there was something hard in there.
“A quarter of the juice had gone, I poured the rest of the juice out and it was like really thin squash.
“When I got to the bottom I found this vile object. I looked at it and took it out because I could just not believe it.”
Sickened Jade, who bought the juice in December, complained to Aldi’s customer services department but was only offered a £10 shopping voucher.
The store also sent her a letter with an apology and several assurances that the object had been looked over by experts.
The budget chain said in a letter to Jade that they believed it was mould and “not anything sinister”.
An Aldi spokesperson told Sun Online: “We are very sorry to hear about Ms Smith’s experience with this product.
“Following Ms Smith’s complaint, we conducted a full investigation, which identified the object as mould, possibly caused by a breach in the packaging that allowed air to enter.”
It comes after Claire Todd discovered a dead frog in a bunch of Aldi’s Fair Trade bananas.
