LONDON — It was hard to explain, that dead mouse baked into a loaf of bread. British officials have released the photo which proved that Stephen Forse wasn’t kidding when he claimed to find the wee creature while making sandwiches for his children.
Stephan Forse, of London, found a mouse baked and embedded into a loaf of Premier Foods bread
as he was preparing sandwiches for his children. The firm was fined $26,470.
Forse, who bought the bread from a supermarket in 2009, said Monday he first thought a dark spot in the bread – branded Best of Both – was some poorly mixed dough.
Then he noticed it had fur.
The case wound up in court. Premier Foods pleaded guilty to violating health laws, and was fined 16,821 pounds ($26,470) on Friday.
Forse says his gruesome discovery made him feel ill, and he felt sick again when health officers noted that the mouse’s tail was missing, perhaps already eaten in a sandwich.

I had a 'french fried bandage' at Burger King once. Took it back up to them and they asked if I wanted a new order of fries. No, not that night or ever again. I could have called the health department – but you know, stuff happens. The mouse just got into the batter at the plant – not a good thing, by any means, but ….
It would freak me out if I saw it. Yuk.
