A mum was left “utterly disgusted” and “fuming” after her daughter bit into an éclair that was so mouldy it looked like it had “blue cheese” inside, and left the youngster throwing up.
Kelly Carr bought a chocolate éclair for her daughter Lana-Reid from Morrisons last Wednesday.
But instead of being a sweet treat, they left little Lana-Reid vomiting in the kitchen sink, Bedfordshire Live reported.
The 42-year-old forensic nurse from Bedford said she bought the packet of eclairs for her daughter to enjoy from the Morrisons in Bedford and that they looked perfectly normal from the outside.
Even though they only a day out-of-date, Kelly was left disgusted as inside they were completely mouldy.
They were so vile, Lana was forced to vomit into the kitchen sink due to their taste.
Kelly said: "I am so utterly disgusted right now. I bought a pack of eclairs yesterday for my daughter to eat, put them in the fridge to get out today and it is actually blue. It's not even mouldy, it's full on blue cheese. It's disgusting.
"They did go out of date yesterday, but they were in the fridge. That looks like that has been rotting on a shelf for a week."
She added: "I have emailed everybody I know who would put that out. I have emailed Morrisons, but I would not even know who to complain to about the disgusting situation.
"She just took a bite into it and she just vomited in the kitchen sink because she said 'Mummy they're blue'. I thought that's a joke right? Then I looked at it and they are both completely blue.
"Honestly I am just mortified that she has had to bite into something that I bought as a treat. For her to be sick in the kitchen sink, honestly I am utterly disgusted right now. Fuming, I am so angry."
Following on the incident, Kelly has been left worried any other products she buys could be mouldy too. She added that she thought the eclairs were not refrigerated before she bought them.
She said: "I would dread to think how many other people have bought mouldy items like the one I bought and someone has bitten into it. I cannot be the only person to have been through this.
"That looks like it has been sat there for a week and has not been refrigerated. They look like they have just been sat in a cupboard or a shelf for the last week. I have never reported anything like this before, never reported to anyone about an item. I even tweeted it, I don't even tweet usually," she concluded.
Speaking on the matter, a Morrisons spokeswoman emphasised how food quality is "extremely important" to the supermarket and the issue is currently this being investigated by the supplier.
They said: "The quality of the food that we sell is extremely important to us. Though this product was not in date when it was consumed, we are still investigating this issue with our supplier so that we can return to Ms Carr."
