I don't really know what to say about this one other than the obvious question: why is it a BABY tooth??? Where is the rest of the child? I'm scared.

A boy bit into a Tesco sausage - and found a tooth inside.

David Walker, 10, was eating dinner with his family when he felt something hard as he chewed.

He spat it out and realised it was a tooth.

His father Andrew, a writer, said: "It was a pretty gross moment. David ran upstairs and cleaned his teeth because he was so upset. Nobody else finished their meal."
 
Mr Walker, 41, took it to environmental health officials who confirmed that it was a milk tooth.
 
"If it was a pen or a 50p piece I could perhaps understand that it fell out of a worker's pocket but a tooth is different," he added.
 
The £1.02 pack of 24 Tesco Value sausages had been delivered to the Walkers, from Cheltenham, by Tesco's online store.

Rob Peters, thanks for this, I do not eat meat sausages as I prefer the vegetarian kind, but cheap meat sausages are not advisable as they contain huge amounts of fat and in this case teeth.
