Something worse than horse meat in burgers: teeth in sausage

2/6/2013

If horse meat in burgers didn't scare you off meat, how about teeth in sausages? Tony Hinds and his fiancé were whipping up snacks for Tony's birthday party. Opening a pack of pork and chive sausages purchased from a Kent, U.K., Tesco supermarket, they spotted a human not-so-pearly-white nestled in the meat — complete with metal filling. Grossed out, Hinds was appalled when the supermarket offered a paltry $40 in gift cards and re-identified the tooth as a "piece of bone." It happened last August, but after horse meat-tainted burgers showed up on Tesco's shelves, still-fuming Hinds is hoping the store will admit wrongdoing and reevaluate its pathetic compensation — like maybe cough up a few more vouchers for vegetarian grub.
