opened a tin of heinz beans and sausage sunday.
in it was a piece of green glass 2mm thick 12mm x 7mm.
took pictures and e mailed heinz .
they have replied asking me to forward details of bottom of tin and send glass.
Its ready to post but thought i would run it by you lot.
what do you think.

I think takes pics, mail them to yourself. then post of the entire tin etc. detaisl as they request. demand an investigation, because this is serious. If a youngster had opened that and scoffed them cold, they'd have cut them selves badly.

I say good luck mate and persue them accordingly!

If you want to make the biggest fuss, then get in contact with your local "Environmental Health" department, via your local council.

Or advise the supplier that's what you intend to do.

Green glass.....isn't that a character in Heartbeat.....

Oh No that's Greengrass

Green glass like found in beer bottles or was the glass flat.
It is unusual to have glass near any manufacturing process as it is near impossible to detect.

You could look at trading standards, on a tin of Heinz beans it says no artificial colours,
can't get any more artificial than green glass.

When I was a kid I bought a packet of chips at the local Fish and Chip emporium only to find a cockroach at the bottom of the packet - after i had polished off the lot. Went back inside and showed the man who accused me of doing it on purpose to get more chips and banned me from his shop.! Sod.

Dont clean up the piece of glass, keep all of the food if you havent binned it already , bag it up and keep it in the fridge. tell them you have preserved all the "evidence" for them but in view of the fact it is perishable will be disposing of it unless they request and arrange otherwise within 14 days

I would definitely tell the local environmental officer and the store you bought it from. They will be a tad concerned about that batch, recall coming on.

oh and if you get nowhere there's always the local press
