THUMBS DOWN:It's just the sort of story gives Pricewatch nightmares, so we thought it best shared

A Romanian man in Iasi was less than impressed when he found a dead mouse inside a salami sausage he was eating, it was reported last week. The poor man had eaten almost half of the vacuum-packed salami before he spotted the mouse. “I’m always careful with what I buy but the salami looked perfectly fine from the outside,” he said. The company, which faces a fine of up to €1,100, has blamed saboteurs for putting the mouse in the salami mixture.
