A shopper has spoken of his disgust at finding absolutely nothing in the packaging of a meat pie he bought from Asda in Ashford (Kent).
Lewis Newton, 23, claims he made the discovery before attempting to cook the own-brand beef and onion pie.
He said: "I bought the pie as part of a three-pack, and ate one earlier in the week with no problems.
"I went to prepare the other two in the oven and just unboxed it, when I happened to look down and saw the entire box completely empty.
"I was absolutely disgusted, and ran to the toilet to be sick.
"You go to the supermarket and buy decent food, you don't expect to buy an empty box.
"I think it might have been done by mistake, but it's still really disgusting."
Mr Newton telephoned the Asda store, in Kimberley Way, and demanded to speak to someone in charge. He spoke to a manager on the phone, who he says was very helpful and asked him to return the empty box, which he did.
He added: "I want to know how this empty box ended up on the supermarket shelves and what Asda is going to do about it."
Asda said it will investigate the matter thoroughly, which could take up to two weeks.
A spokesman said: "Customer satisfaction is of upmost importance to us and we’re at a loss as to how this could have happened. In my opinion it was probably one of the lazy benefit scroungers who was forced to work here to receive his benefits, I bet he ate it before putting the packaging on the shelves
"We will be investigating each one of our stockroom staff by placing them in a dark room with only a chair, table and a light and brutally interrogating each and every one of them. We will of course keep the customer updated to the outcome of that investigation.
"We have also offered the customer 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 discount vouchers which he has gratefully accepted and his money was refunded on the purchase in question."
