Mum horrified after finding 'surprise' dead mouse in packet of crisps

A horrified mum has claimed she found a dead mouse inside a bag of crisps

Esther De La Rosa opened the bag of Barcel Chips in her car shortly after purchasing the pack from her local shop in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

But she was met with a frightening surprise after discovering a dead mouse amongst the crisps.

Taking to Facebook to share the ordeal, Esther says she has been left traumatised by the incident, while social media users have spoken of their disgust following the discovery.

"I got a rat in the potato chips!" she captioned the post, which has been shared on social media.

"It's incredible this happened, I never imagined it. These were always my favourite.

"Don't buy these chips ever again, take care of your children."

In the video, the mum shows several bags of crisps on a store shelf, as well as her own bag with a rodent visibly hanging out the packet.

Chips Barcel, the company which makes the crisps, replied to Esther's post on Twitter and asked her to send them more detail in a private message.

A number of social media users have shared their disgust after watching the video.

"So good that it came out as soon as you opened it and not that you ate some and then it came out," one person said.

Another said: "Surprise gift."

A third wrote: "IS SHE ALIVE?"
