A woman has been left sickened after discovering a 'dead snake' inside a tin of bakes beans she had bought during a trip to her local Aldi supermarket.
The 26-year-old from Porth in Wales described the 'snake' like floating object as being grey and black in colour with distinctive markings, before she 'nearly threw' the can of Corale premium quality baked beans across the room after the disgusting discovery.
The woman later took to Twitter to share the horrifying ordeal, as she posted the image with the caption: "So, um...is that a snake in my beans?", reports the Record.

The post has since been viewed by over a million online users with hundreds of people voicing their disgust in the comments, with some claiming that it had put them off eating baked beans for life.
One Twitter user described it as "traumatising," while another replied, "Are you sure it’s not listed in the ingredients under 'addertives'?"
A third commented: "I can't even look at that - oh my God". However, the customer - who asked not to be named - said she was too freaked out by the discovery to get to the bottom of what the mystery ingredient actually was.
"I almost threw the tin across the room when I opened it up and saw what was inside," she explained. "I physically couldn't bring myself to touch it. So I poked it with a fork and it all moved at once, after which point I refused to look again. So I wrapped it up and took it to Aldi to complain and they gave me two bottles of wine as a goodwill gesture."
A spokesperson for Aldi said: "Whilst we would not be able to explain the exact cause of this, it may have been due to a breach in the packaging which has allowed air to enter and cause the item to perish," they said.
"We will ensure your comments regarding this product are passed onto the relevant department. In the meantime, please return to the store for a full refund - please ask to speak to a member of staff who will be more than willing to help."
