    Hi folks, I purchased a jar of Balti sauce in a supermarket. In it I found a piece of wood about 1" LONG AND 1/2" WIDE. Does anybody know how this might have got there? it looks like beech maybe, not too sure. Dont know if I can name the supermarket here, but it's an own brand sauce. I phoned the store head office and ws told to bring it back to where i purchased it. I bit down on the wood and luckily our 19 month old son did not get the piece in his meal. This could be fatal for an infant.

    Hi, thanks again for the reply. This looks like pure timber. I will try post a pic for all to see. Even if it is cassia bark there should be a strict choking hazard warning on the label, which there is not.

    It's obviously an accident. Either contact the manufacturers (you'll prob get some food type gift) or get over it

    But Cassia/Cinnamon is timber/wood.

    If it is Cassia/Cinnamon it's obviously just an accident.

    As for an infant choking on it, would you feed Balti to a baby?

    Would you ever get things into perspective,did you buy this product with the ingredients displayed on the ingredient list and did it mention wood and possibly young infants could choke and die if not taken under adult supervson. If the ingredients weren't on the container and other information like country of origin or where it was packed it should not have been on the shelf or have been for sale in this country maybe you could not be brother to read it but you don't deserve to die or choke because you dident.
    Report it and hopefully somebody will get prosecuted for having it on sale.
    Do you know who to report it to because reading through this thread people really don't seem to know what to do when they have a food complaint.
