A man has been sentenced to two years in prison for allegedly handing out a semen-laced yoghurt sample.

Anthony Garcia received his sentence on Thursday (March 1), having pleaded guilty last October to contaminating the treat at the Albuquerque Sunflower Market in January 2011.

The 32-year-old, who was branded "sickening and appalling" by prosecutors, admitted to placing some of his semen on a plastic spoon, dipping it in the yoghurt pot and handing it to a female customer.

According to The AP, the woman told police that she tasted the irregularity immediately.

She claimed that she spat on the floor several times and had to wipe her mouth on her clothes in order to get rid of the taste.

Garcia had been facing up to three years in prison.
