A Knowsley man got more than he bargained for when he bit into a mini pepperoni pizza - and found a 1cm piece of plastic baked into the crust.
Tom Higham, 48, at first thought the piece of black plastic was a bone when he dug into the small Chicago Town deep dish pepperoni pizza he had purchased from his local Farmfoods on Friday, April 28.
He said: "I was working from home and decided to have an afternoon snack of a Chicago Town pizza, and I found this massive bit of plastic in it. I don't want to be graphic, but I spat it out, and it looks like some part of a machine or something like that."
