Default Tesco Store :Mice Drop from the McCoys shelf




"A shopper picked a crisps multipack off the
shelf in Tesco - and discovered
some newborn mice had gnawed their way into the bag.
The tiny pink rodents dropped from the shelf and had
eaten a way into the McCoys packet.
Mother-of-one Liz Wray said she felt 'revolted' after finding
mice had got into the packet and were nesting in the store.
But instead of closing the new store in Aston, Birmingham,
all supermarket workers did was put a box over the rodents
in aisle six before calling in pest control."

The "newborn" mice would have been unable to gnaw their way into the pack, they would have been delivered in the pack by their mum who decided the multipack was a safe place to deliver them.

Whether she gnawed in while the stock was in the tescos inbound holding area, in transit to the store or at the depot supplying the store would depend on how quickly stocks of crisps turn over at that particular location.

You would be a fool to think that any shop that sells food doesnt have problems with pests at one time or another. Even your beloved Asda Walmart.


Life in the Real World.

Yeah I suppose it could be seen to be disgusting.

It does happen in all food retail chain locations, food production plants etc. Though they are all bound by law to reduce the occurrence risks to a practicable minimum.
