A mum has vowed never to eat a pack of crisps again after finding what appeared to be a 'cooked spider' in some cheese and onion Walkers crisps. Sabrina Hussain was enjoying the savory snack when she found the unsuspected critter.
Sabrina was so disgusted by the sight of it that she ran to the bathroom to vomit. The mum-of-two was already halfway through the packet by the time she came across the dodgy discovery on Thursday morning, July 28, BirminghamLive reports.
On closer inspection afterwards, she noticed what looked to be a dead insect hanging from the discarded snack. The teaching assistant Sabrina joked that finding the suspected critter was 'karma' for eating crisps for breakfast.
She said: "I'm still feeling really sick. I really don't know what is, it looks like a stripped spider that's been cooked in with the crisps. It looked like some kind of string attaching it to the crisp, it was dangling off it. I don't want to touch it, it's disgusting."
Sabrina bought the packet for £1 from her local convenience store, but said she'll never eat crisps again after the stomach-churning experience. "Every now and again I just fancy a bag of cheese and onion," she said.
"I was just craving some this morning so I went to the shop and bought some. I know it's really bad, this is probably karma for having crisps for breakfast. I was sat there, eating away and looking on TikTok, and then I picked up another crisp and just happened to look at it. I thought 'what on Earth is that?'
"I started throwing up, it made my physically sick. I came back to it after to see what it was and took a picture and put it on my social media to see if anybody could tell me what it was. People were saying the same thing - that it looked like a spider. I rang Walkers and they asked for the barcode number.
"I was hoping for an apology but the person I spoke to didn't seem that concerned about it. I haven't heard anything back yet. I keep looking at the crisp and gagging. I don't know if it's mind over matter but I've been sick three times already and I've got a belly ache. It's definitely put me off eating crisps for life."
A Walkers spokesperson said: “We’re sorry to hear that Sabrina has found something unexpected in her pack. We take all complaints very seriously and the safety and quality of our products are our top priorities.
"We have robust quality control procedures at all of our manufacturing sites to ensure our products meet the highest standards. We remain in contact with Sabrina so that we can further investigate this issue.”
