Mansfield shoppers say they would not be interested in buying pig brains after a supermarket director was reprimanded for selling them in the town. Environmental health officers found fridges running too warm and numerous items for sale beyond their use-by date during an inspection of Zosia Market in Bridge Street.
But the officers also seized a pig's brain from Poland which was being sold in the shop. It is illegal to sell pig brains in the UK for human consumption because of health risks.
Karolina Wegiera, 24, of Mansfield, has now been banned from selling fresh food following a hearing at the town's magistrates' court on December 15. People in the town centre reacted to the news that a Mansfield shop was selling pig brains.
