    A white loaf with a brown lump. Its either a bit of grain or rat dropping :(

    Where do I go with this?? Back to the company who made the loaf or report on www.fsai.ie although they seem more for take aways and restaurants :confused:

    You can ask the fsai to investigate, they seem to cover any product made in Ireland.

    Let me see....:cool:

    Bread is made from wheat. Wheat is brown. (I haven't seen white wheat growing anywhere yet?)

    Or another possibility... The same bakery makes brown bread. - Rvelation, bakeries make white & brown bread, use the same machinery and lines, same ovens etc,

    Grains of wheat

    Rat droppings are black -

    Eat it or throw it away, but don't waste the time of FSAI.

    Do you work there :rolleyes: Why would anybody be worried about wasting the FSAI's time. Should you not be more concerned about a possible contamination problem in a loaf of bread that I almost gave a 2 year old to eat.

    you said the object was brown. And then you suggest it could be rat droppings or wheat. :rolleyes:

    Rat dropping are black, wheat is brown. There's your answer.

    IMO, food safety in Ireland is of the highest standard, hence we have such a large food export industry. Not to say things do go wrong, but your post does say the object is brown.

    I would have no problem whatsoever eating it.

    Bring it back to the shop you bought it in. Ask for a refund or replacement. They'll probably give it to you and, if there is indeed a contamination, will take it up with the appropriate persons. If there's a lump of brown dough in it (my suspicion) they'll bin it.
