hair in food - what to do??

bytesize

ok my gf bought some cake from a bakery near her work last friday. she got some small cakes, like slices etc. i was kinda hungry so i decided to eat one of them. i broke a piece off and was about to put it in my mouth, when i noticed a hair sticking out of it.

the thing is, it is about an inch and a bit long and im not quite certain weather it is a hair from someones head or a more nasty pubic hair. the hair was inside the cake so it must have fallen in when the cake was prepared and cooked.

im not sure where i stand. i dont have a receipt and im not sure weather i should go back to the bakery or take it further.

i realise its only a hair but hygiene is supposed to be a key factor when preparing and selling food and i honestly wouldnt have liked to have been chewing on it when i found the hair.

any feedback would be appreciated.

When in doubt through it out:)

what are you looking to do, claim?

bytesize

no not claim, just get re-imbursed(sp?). you know, like get a new cake or something

Karl Hungus

Yeah, bring it back, and get some new cake.

Jesus, its only a hair. If it was more than one hair, or if you'd discovered hair in numerous products from the same bakery then fair enough, but I mean come on... It wasn't baked by slippery bald eyebrowless coneheads. At least I hope not...

They wont refund it For all they know it could be your hair (if u have hair:D )

My thoughts exactly, build a bridge.

If it is a nasty pubic hair purposely put in there by an evil baker, just think of what else could be in there.

Yeah, that cream might be something else altogether...

Taken from http://www.rawfoods.com/articles/cacao.html

Allowable limits have been set by the FDA regarding rodent feces and insect parts in chocolate and cocoa! As quoted from Poison With a Capital C, every time you eat a chocolate bar, it may contain a rodent hair and 16 insect parts and still carry the blessing of the FDA., and For chocolate powder or cakes there must not be more than 75 insect fragments in three tablespoons of powder., and Four percent of cacao beans may be infested by insects. Animal excreta (such as visible rat droppings) must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound.

The hair doesn't seem so bad now eh?

I was thinking raisins, that's just sick.

Use that strand of hair to make a voodoo doll and rightfully punish the perpetrator for the pain and distress caused to you.

cornbb, dave, jimmysavlon: as i said its no real biggie, just the principal behind it. let me ask ye a question to put you in my shoes...

say ye were in on a saturday night and ye ordered a chinese. chinese comes and you open it and put it on a plate. halfway through or even straight away, you find a hair which you dont know is head hair or pubic hair sitting in your curry sauce. would you just say, ah sure fcuk it ill just throw it out, its only a chinese. or would you expect to be refunded or get a new chinese?

dave: yeah i hard about those reg's before. nasty indeed

Dave

I'd say "Fcuk it, and finish it" (as I have done)

I'm a student by the way.

I was thinking it could be that really cheap canned cream, rather than freshly-whipped cream like Mammy made to go with dessert in the bygone days of yore.

Canned cream... that's sick all right.

Heard a story about a fella who found a condom in his tin of tuna....after he'd eaten half of it of course!:eek:

My Mum found chewed chewing gum in those salads you help yourself to in the supermarket. Bleh.

The 'slippery' bit as a description of those conehead wonders would put me off anyway.

Girl in my class found a beetle in a roll she bought from Spar. Brought it back and got a bottle of win and a box of chocolates.

This is a message on behalf of Amir... you owe them 10c.
