“I think it’s a safety issue,” she said. “Whatever it is, it should not be in a block of lard.” Katie said she sliced into the 27p pack of Tesco Value lard while making sausage and bacon sandwiches at breakfast time for her son, Kian.
“I tried to cut a bit off and thought, this is unusual, I can’t cut through it. I cut round where I couldn’t get through and saw there was a bit of metal sticking out. I don’t know how it could have got in there, whether it’s a bit of machinery or what.”
Katie said she rang Tesco’s customer services line and was told she could take the lard back to the shop for a refund. “I’m not bothered about getting the 27p back,” she said. “It’s put me off shopping at Tesco full stop.”

Indeed it IS a safety issue - a child of six should not be made to eat lard on his sandwiches! Come to think of it, who the hell still buys lard these days?!
She was going to put lard on a sausage and bacon sandwich? They might be better off eating needles.
Hahaha!
I'm not sure she was going to put lard actually on the sandwiches, rather than cook the sausages and bacon in it.
Then again I maybe wrong.
I'm with Mark, I still feel a bit surprised when I see lard for sale. I remember my grandparents using it to fry food, but these days who doesn't just grill it or let the fat from the sausages out?
I think you're right Kev. Its for frying.
