Woman finds 'stone' in Aldi steak bake after biting into slice and hearing 'crunch'

A woman has sworn off Aldi steak slices for life after finding a 'piece of bone' in one of the supermarket's products.

The Grimsby woman, who wished to remain anonymous, bought a steak slice for her dinner from the store on Magdalene Road.

After a few bites, she crunched down on something hard and spat it out to find a small piece of what she thought was a stone.

However, an Aldi spokesperson who apologised to the woman said that they believed it to be a piece of bone.

The woman told Grimsby Live : "I often have a steak slice for my dinner or one of the chicken tikka slices.

"Normally they're really nice and I've never had an issue with them before. After I'd warmed it up, I had a couple of bites and was really enjoying it.

"However, after I got about halfway through, I bit down into a bit of steak and heard a crunch, I thought I'd chipped my tooth at first. I immediately spat out what I thought was a bit of tooth, but after inspecting it, I realised it definitely wasn't my tooth."

She added: "I was genuinely shocked when I looked at it and realised it was something that had been in the steak slice.

"When I was looking at it, I thought it was a small stone or pebble.

"It was so tiny, but also really hard. The object was white in colour and it was just so odd to see it in my dinner.

"I've seen people find caterpillars or bugs in their food before, but I didn't think it was real until it happened to me."

The woman said she wouldn't be buying or eating steak slices from Aldi again.

"Regardless of what it actually is, a nationwide supermarket shouldn't be letting this happen," she added.

In response to these claims, Aldi have apologised to the woman and have asked her to bring the steak slice into store to allow them to carry out an investigation.

A spokesperson for Aldi said: “We apologise to the woman that she found what appears to be a small piece of bone in one of our Steak Slices.

"We have asked her to return the product to her local store so we can investigate fully.”
