Worth a Heads Up - Needles Found in Food

"In any food line where production machinery is involved, they scan the products for bits of metal from the machinery, e.g. grinding teeth in minced beef production. I've known Dalepak steaklets pass this inspection - two lines, one line was giving detections every 20 minutes or so, the other passed the whole 800 boxes without a blip. I put a case knife through that line and it wasn't detected - the sensor was faulty, but the supervisor, rather than use the working machine, just signed off the batch from the faulty machine and said "You've done what you were told, you put them through the machine. I'm not paying you overtime to run it through the other". I stayed back and singlehandedly rescanned the whole six pallets without pay. It took me four hours. but I found lumps of steel the size of peas broken off in a dozen boxes in that batch."

We found hundreds of needles floating around castlefield if they want some more

I like noodles in food

We recently found a needle in a pack of coffee beans from Asda. They have asked that we bring it back to the store we bought it from. That request took them two weeks to come up with BTW.

The thing is, we have drunk all the coffee and the needle might come in use for something.

'Margaret Lynch, 49, had been chopping the beans when she found 12 needles or metal spikes seemingly inserted inside the beans, which she speculated could have been done deliberately before arriving at the Glasgow store.'

No shit, Sherlock.

if this is going to go the way of the fish thread..I may just do a runner....

Be careful or Mr Stabby might start being offensive and call you a mung!
