Man discovers mouse inside bag of frozen fish - PHOTO

A horrified plumber has said he is unable to eat - after he deep-fried a frozen dead mouse.Mohammed Ali, 37, was 'in a hurry' when he threw a £3 pack of Tesco scampi into his deep fat fryer.He checked back two minutes later and noticed something black.Mr Ali, from Stoneyburn, West Lothian, said he is still too sick to eat after finding the rodent on Wednesday and can only drink juice.'I stuck my hand in the bag and and put it in - I was in a hurry,' he said. Two minutes later, he added: 'I saw something black was inside it.'I thought "what the hell is that?" I fished it out and it was a mouse. I was shocked.'I was upset and angry. I was looking forward to scampi and I love scampi.'The plumber has since been teased by his family. He said: 'I went to my brother’s party later that day and as soon as I got in my brother was going, ‘Squeak! Squeak!’”'Mr Ali bought the £3 pack of breaded fish from Tesco in Bathgate, West Lothian, on Wednesday.After making the gruesome find he contacted Tesco and West Lothian Council, who are both investigating. Trading standards officers visited him yesterday.A council spokesman said: 'We have been contacted by a local resident regarding the alleged find of a mouse in a locally bought food product.'A Tesco spokesman added: 'We set ourselves very high standards for the safety and quality of our food. 'The product has not been returned to store by Mr Ali but we will be assisting the local authority with any investigation they may undertake.'If the probe supports Mr Ali's allegations, he will not have been the first to find a rodent in his food.In 2010 Stephen Forse, from Kidlington, Oxfordshire, was horrified to find a mouse baked into a Hovis Best of Both loaf which he had bought from Tesco.He made the gruesome discovery as he was preparing sandwiches for his children.

The find led to producers Premier Foods being fined £5,500 and ordered to pay costs of more than £11,000.
