“Staff were clueless as to how it could have got in there”Sainsbury’s has apologised(Image: Submitted\/Bristol Live)<\/p>\n

A Sainsbury’s <\/a>shopper made a bizarre discovery as she peeled the seal off a pot of cheese.<\/p>\n

Jasmine Tripp-Edwards was in the middle of making a tiramisu dessert for a friend, when she found that a key ingredient was “contaminated”.<\/p>\n

The self-employed hairdresser had bought own-brand mascarpone cheese from the Portishead <\/a>supermarket last week, only to find a clothing label poking out of the surface.<\/p>\n

Sainsbury’s has apologised for the “rare” occurrence, but Jasmine has now been left questioning the slip in hygiene standards that led to the foreign object making it on to the shelves.<\/p>\n

She told Bristol Live: “It was really really random, I was making a tiramisu for my friend and I’d not bought enough mascarpone, so I got my boyfriend to go down to Sainsbury’s to buy some.<\/p>\n

“It had a plastic lid, and then it had a white film [underneath]. I peeled the film back and there was literally a hole in the cheese, and I could see something in there.”<\/p>\n

The Portishead<\/a> resident said she was “in disgust” wondering: “What on earth is this?”<\/p>\n

Jasmine added: “I didn’t pull all of it out because I wanted to take it back to Sainsbury’s and show them exactly as it was, but I could see it had clothing labels in there for a woman’s top.<\/p>\n

“I got straight in the car and when I got down to Sainsbury’s they were very shocked but really lovely and just said for me to go and pick up another one.<\/p>\n

“They were clueless as to how it could have physically got in there. From what I could see from the label it wasn’t from a Sainsbury’s top, it was just like that rubbery, papery material of label that you get with clothing.<\/p>\n

“It was really odd, it was like someone had literally just chucked their rubbish in with the mix or something.”<\/p>\n

Though she said it would not deter her from shopping at Sainsbury’s again as it was the first issue she had encountered, she questioned if there should be a product recall, in case the whole batch was affected.<\/p>\n

Jasmine said: “It does make me think what actually goes on in the factories that we don’t really know about, for that to get in there.<\/p>\n

“Because that [pot] was contaminated, really I shouldn’t have been able to pick up the same one again.”<\/p>\n
