One mum has issued a public warning after making a shocking discovery in a popular Australian dessert that she had recently purchased from Coles.

Most concerningly, the mum claims to have made the arguably gruesome find just moments before she was about to serve it to her one-year-old daughter.

The mother shared photos, showing what appears to be a discoloured and soggy band-aid that had been immersed in the YoGo brand chocolate yoghurt.

In her post online, the mother urged other parents to be cautious and to thoroughly stir through food before serving it.

‘Firstly, I’m only sharing this for awareness as this is a “kids yoghurt”. I am not after compensation,’ she wrote.

'PLEASE STIR THROUGH FOOD BEFORE EATING. Infested, disgusting, non-hospitality-friendly band-aid found in this yoghurt.’

'I'm so relieved that my toddler didn't eat this. Please, please be careful, guys.'

She also shared that she bought the yoghurt at Coles’ Westmead branch and took a shot at the cleanliness of the manufacturer: ‘Obviously, YoGo yoghurt staff don’t have proper hygiene standards at their workplace.’

A friend of the mum expressed her thoughts over the incident.

'My friend is outraged and distraught over the incident. Thankfully her daughter did not consume the poisoned product,' she said. 'It's revolting!'

The friend also questioned why YoGo was still available in stores, suggesting that there should be a product recall due to the clear breach of health and safety.

'Shouldn't there be a recall out on this product?' she asked.

'I mean, it's a children's product. And there is a clear breach of health and safety here!'

The Bega Group, the company that produces YoGo, has responded to the incident, stating that they are urgently investigating the mother's claims.

'As soon as we were made aware of this, we commenced working with our broader team to conduct a thorough investigation which is still underway,' a spokesperson said.

'The safety of our consumers and quality of our product is, as always, the top priority.'

This situation, while rare, isn’t exactly unheard of.

In a previous story, a mum shared on social media that she found something disturbing inside a tin of beans when she opened it to create a meal for her family. Read more about the story here.

I found myself wondering which one of these four I'd rather come across in my food: The roach and the rat are easily off, leaving the fly and the fingernail. I can't decide!

In all seriousness, a band-aid really is a shocking find. I'm just happy it was spotted in time.

Absolutely, shouldn't find a band aid. The other issues I am pointing out would be far more common and go unseen.

I think I would be making my own to be honest.

Most comments note that blue bandaids are use in food production.

The one in the picture looks like the kind we'd buy (skin coloured).

So, where did it come from?

I feel that the product's batch should be pulled from the shelves as it was obviously in that batch.
Saying that the company is investigating this incident means, to me, that the company is just hoping the report will just "go away".
Things like "we are investigating the incident " or " we are monitoring the situation" just doesn't cut it with me!

What I took out of this, is my surprise that there is actual human involvement in the manufacturing of these things. Would assume it predominately computer controlled mixing etc. Question if it's not just someone attempt to get some freebies. Food(?) 'inspectors' wouldn't be looking for this sort of thing, at best do a random inspection and basically checking temperature control and the storage of before and after contents.

In all seriousness, a band-aid really is a shocking find. I'm just happy it was spotted in time.

Over my years in hospitality, I have seen many strange things in food. Including glass, metal scourer, Pieces of blue food handling gloves, a frog in a lettuce box, very much alive, and most scary, a very large black spider in a box of bananas, that promptly took off across the floor when the lid was removed off the box.

 

[magpie1]

Ask yourself 'who handles the open container' before it goes along a production line and is filled with the product and then sealed straight afterward and packaged for delivery.....maybe it was from the handlers at the start of the line with the empty containers. Just a thought.

I would've screamed like I was witnessing a murder at that spider! Not a fan of them at all, especially when they decide they want to grow big and menacing
