The other day
I bought some sort of chicken and pasta salad thing from Tesco. I was maybe 75% through when I felt a bit of bone in my mouth. This may happen with chicken and managed to fish it out of my mouth. Turns out to be a small fragment of plastic.
It took it back into the store (as I had been sitting on a bench nearby eating it). The woman on Customer Service desk was great. Asked lots of questions, wrote a mini-statement of sorts and said I'll hear something soon. In the meantime, here's double the refund.

So, your story is
Man eats ready meal, finds small piece of packaging in it and gains a full monetary refund, plus a sum in goodwill from the retailer?

Is that how Amorous Badger does it?

Will give you (on their branded products only I think) a replacement plus double the money.

not that it's a competition or anything.

tesco
will send you a tenner giftcard in the post in 4 weeks, saying they are really sorry and have investigated etc. so nyer, asda.

The poor manufacturer will get charged £50 for the RP125 complaint, plus £10 compo, plus the refund, and voila, Tesco makes some money on your complaint.

Every little helps!

Yeah
...but with the grub I've had from Asda in the past, you'd have been lucky to find any chicken in it at all.
I had a chicken curry from there once. They should have just labelled it "Curry sauce" to comply with trading standards.
