A shopping shocker! Josie Wright, a 16-year-old from London, got more than she bargained for after buying a £2.40 granola pack from Sainsbury’s. Back home, she noticed the granola bag moving and, to her horror, heard chewing noises. Turns out, a tiny mouse had made itself at home inside the 1kg packet!
Josie wasn’t the only one spooked—her mum, Lindsay, was there too. After examining the unsettling scene and confirming it wasn’t just the granola settling, Lindsay and Josie took swift action. They reported the rodent incident to Sainsbury’s, ensuring the unopened bag was returned.
Rodents in groceries are not entirely unheard of; remember when a frog popped up in a bag of bananas? However, this discovery left Josie swearing off granola for the foreseeable future, worried about potential health risks from mouse droppings.
Commenting on the incident, Lindsay highlighted how easily such issues could be missed, especially with granola packed full of raisins and sultanas. To their relief, the problem was spotted early. Sainsbury’s has expressed regret, noting that they prioritise product quality and safety. They are now investigating with their supplier and hope to reach out to Josie’s family.
