A WOMAN from the Isle of Wight was treated to a nasty shock earlier today (Wednesday) as she prepared to devour some of her newly purchased tiger baguette from Tesco.

Karen Peck purchased the bread, known for having stripes similar to the big cats, only to find a safety pin attached to a hair in the middle of a roll.

The bread was purchased from Tesco in Ryde, and Karen posted photos of her unpleasant find with the title "Anyone buying bread from Tesco Ryde be vigilant. (I) found a safety pin in mine attatched to long hair."

We have contacted Tesco to find out its policy on such matters.
