A grandmother who found a pair of false teeth in a packet of nuts wants to know how the dentures slipped through safety checks.
Janice Cox, 54, retched after realising that the 'hard' object in her Tesco mixed packet of nuts and raisins was actually parts of two teeth on a plastic dental plate.
Janice Cox and the nuts and false teethNow she is seeking compensation from the supermarket giant for the distress she suffered.
Mrs Cox, of Cowley Road, Littlemore, Oxford, bought the Tesco own brand 200g packet from the Oxford Retail Park store.
Mrs Cox was sharing the snack with her husband Trevor when she made the discovery. She said: "When I realised it was teeth I nearly went off my head.
"It made me ill."
A spokesman for Tesco said: "If the customer either brings the product back or asks us to collect it, we will carry out a full investigation."
