A former Iceland employee won £3,000 after a tribunal found she was unfairly sacked for eating a Cadbury’s Twirl worth 20p.
Sharon Cassidy said she believed the opened multipack of the chocolate bars belonged to a colleague, and said members of staff often ate each other’s food which had been left at tills.
But Miss Cassidy, who had worked for the supermarket chain for 15 years, was fired for theft after Iceland bosses saw her eating the chocolate on CCTV.
