A GREENOCK family was horrified to discover a ‘chicken claw’ inside a Tesco sausage roll.
Colin McLaughlin, of Larkfield, said his partner, Nicola Kane, made the shocking discovery as she bit into the snack.
Today, the couple told how their five-year-old son could have choked on the item if he had eaten it.
Mr McLaughlin told the Tele: “Nicola spat the sausage roll out straight away when she felt something hard inside it. I was outside and she knocked on the window and shouted for me to come in.
“When I ran in to see what was wrong, I could tell straight away it was an actual chicken’s claw.”
Colin added that his son Logan could easily have been given the sausage roll to eat.
He said: “Logan is only five and he could have choked on it — he wouldn’t have known what it was.”
The bag of 50 sausage rolls were bought from Tesco in Greenock’s Dalrymple Street.
And when Nicola, 29, took the savoury snack and chicken toe back to the shop she was told the manager was too busy too speak to her.
Colin, also 29, of Portree Terrace, said: “She was told to come back the next day when she would get a £5 gift voucher for her troubles.
“I want to know what chicken was doing in a sausage roll? We do a lot of our shopping there.”
A spokesperson for Tesco urged the couple to bring the bag of sausage rolls back to the store so they could carry out an investigation.
The spokesperson said: “We are extremely sorry. The store will carry out a full investigation to find out how this got into a sausage roll.”
