A man from the Flemish Brabant municipality of Kampenhout got more than he had bargained for when he bough a pack of bread rolls from the Aldi supermarket in the nearby town of Vilvoorde. Inside one of the white bread rolls was a small metal bar. Aldi is aware of the incident and has launched an investigation.
Gunther Carré had something of a shock when he sat down to breakfast. Inside one of the oft white bread rolls he had bought from the Aldi supermarket in Vilvoorde was a small metal bar. Fortunately for him Gunter notice the piece of metal in time and escaped injury.
He told VRT Radio 2 that "This is certainly dangerous and I wouldn’t like to swallow something like that. I contacted Aldi and the Federal Food Agency straight away. They were most helpful. To be clear, there was a piece of metal stuck in the roll, but I don’t think that it was baked into it”.
In the meantime Aldi has asked Gunther tos end them the piece of metal so that they can investigate where it came from.
Aldi’s Jason Sevestre told VRT News that "Above all we want to apologise to the customer for their negative experience. In response to the complaint we have started an investigation. As things stand this appears to have been an isolated incident. Aldi will of course reimburse the customer for the bread rolls”.
