Woman finds 'vile object' in tomato juice

This may turn you off Bloody Mary's forever.

When buying tomato juice to make the cocktail, U.K. woman Jade Smith found what she called a "vile object." She shared it on Facebook:

"So I purchased some Aldi tomato juice Dec 2016," she wrote, "To enjoy a bloody Mary over the Christmas hols [sic]."

That Bloody Mary, though, never happened. "The carton it felt heavier than usual don't know why I felt the need to cut the carton open but I'm sure glad I did," she said.

What she found was something horrifying. When she called the store, they said it would take six to eight weeks for the quality assurance team to help her. Aldi sent back a letter saying it was a huge amount of mold, and gave her a small voucher for £10 (around $13).

An Aldi spokesperson spoke to the U.K. news outlet Metro about the incident: "We are very sorry to hear about Ms Smith's experience with this product."

They continued, "Following Ms Smith's complaint, we conducted a full investigation, which identified the object as mold, possibly caused by a breach in the packaging that allowed air to enter."
