Boy, 10, finds a tooth in his sausage

David Walker, ten, was eating dinner with his family when he felt something hard as he chewed.
He spat it out and realised it was a tooth.


His father Andrew, a writer, said: "It was a pretty gross moment. David ran upstairs and cleaned his teeth because he was so upset. Nobody else finished their meal."

Mr Walker, 41, took it to environmental health officials who confirmed that it was a milk tooth.

"If it was a pen or a 50p piece I could perhaps understand that it fell out of a worker's pocket but a tooth is different," he added.

The £1.02 pack of 24 Tesco Value sausages had been delivered to the Walkers, from Cheltenham, by Tesco's online store.

On Tuesday, David's parents, who have four children, cooked the sausages with chips.

Tesco apologised and said: "We do take such incidents very seriously and would welcome the opportunity to carry out our own investigation with our supplier."

David's mother Helen, 41, said: "I can't imagine David will eat sausages again."
