A condom in a curry, a white Wellington boot in cheese and broken windscreen glass in a pancake. These "foreign bodies" were all found in food in the UK.Speaking at a recent session of the South African Association for Food Science and Technology in Durban, Professor Geoffrey Campbell-Platt and Tony Hinds highlighted the problems in the food industry. The worst case scenario could include terrorism, said Hinds, a director dealing in crisis management at Leatherhead Food International. Terrorism is still a threat he said.Listing the causes of foreign bodies in food, he said they included the accidental and criminal. One malicious contamination case was allegedly caused by a factory worker "who was feeling a bit down" and picked up a handful of broken windscreen glass, later putting it in a crispy pancake (he was found not guilty in court as there was insufficient evidence for a conviction).
