June Gavin had purchased on loaf of sourdough bread from a local Marks and Spencer store. The retired primary school teacher returned home hoping to enjoy a slice of bread and butter.

As she took a bite, June noticed a sudden sharp, scratching pain digging into her mouth.

June told Daily Record, "When I started to eat the bread I felt something sharp and I immediately spat it out to see this piece of plastic. I still got a cut to my gum but If I had swallowed it, it could have damaged my throat. I'm lucky that didn't happen.”

Immediately, June complained and took the loaf of bread, offending piece of plastic and all the packaging back to the Silverburn store.

It took a four weeks for marks and spencer to get back in touch with her.
