Live baby mice fall out of crisps bag horrifying mother at Tesco

A stunned mother has described her shock at seeing live baby mice tumble out of a packet of crisps she had just picked up in a Tesco store. Liz Wray said she saw half a dozen mice drop from multipacks of crisps in the supermarket in Aston, Birmingham, where the rodents appeared to have been nesting.

'They were repulsive and made me feel revolting,' said the health visitor. 'There were half a dozen of them crawling out of different holes in the crisps and we couldn't believe our eyes. I was with a work colleague who reached out towards the crisps and started screaming. They dropped down from the shelf.



'Suddenly these tiny pink things appeared from the multipacks and were lying in front of us. I'm not sure if they were inside the multipack or if they were just in among the packets. But there were a lot of holes in the bag - they'd obviously been at them.' The mother of one said that instead of closing the new store all supermarket workers did was put a box over the rodents in aisle six before calling in pest control.

Liz was shopping in the store with a friend when she made the discovery on Friday afternoon. She said: 'When I told the store manager, he said "We can't do much about it because we are near a canal and railway track and the mice tend to come through the floor." 'I couldn't believe he was saying that to me. The whole situation was horrible.'
