A Tiger loaf gave a man an unexpected bite when he found a piece of metal in the bread which led to his local authority bringing a subsequent product liability claim against a shop's in-store bakery.
Sometimes the division of responsibility in a legal action over a contaminated or faulty product is not clear-cut but in this case as the loaf was produced at an in-store bakery, the shop concerned was both manufacturer and supplier.
The man who bought the rice flour and sesame coated loaf bit into a slice and choked on a 15mm piece of wire which was subsequently found to have come from part of the mixing apparatus on a bakery machine.
North Somerset Council brought the case in which the store admitted placing food on the market which was unsafe, dangerous to health and unfit for human consumption because it contained metal, and failing to keep articles and fittings in good working order to reduce the risk of contamination.
It was ordered to pay a total of nearly £13,000 in fines and costs and, although the store said it apologised to its customer and a victim surcharge of £15 was made, he was not offered compensation for his personal injury.
He was likely to be eligible to make a product liability claim for compensation for the store's negligence.
