A woman tucking into a Greggs sausage roll was left horrified when she bit down on a "tooth" embedded in the savoury treat.
Liz Morgan, an actor known for her voiceover work on the original Captain Scarlet TV series, got the pastry snack at her local branch in Eastbourne.
She says as she went to munch the sausage roll, she discovered an unwanted addition to her order.
"I sat down and I was enjoying it, and I was going to be very quick because they were shutting," she said.
"I was chewing it and I felt something hard. It wasn't like gristle so I took it out and, God, there it was - a tooth.
"I don't know if it was a porker or whether it's human. Probably a pig's would've been safer."
"I was horrified," she added.
The manager of the store in The Beacon shopping centre advised Ms Morgan, who's also an author and playwright, to contact the chain's central customer services team.
She said: "So I did and I had a long correspondence with customer services who seemed very concerned with it and said they were going to make their own enquiries.
"So back came the letter to offer me £15. That's twelve sausage rolls - I could have a set of teeth out of it."
Ms Morgan, who spent months locked down in her seafront flat during the pandemic, had come to appreciate the bakery as a good place to grab a coffee.
However she's not been back since.
A spokeswoman for Greggs said the chain was investigating the matter.
She said: "We take all matters of food safety and hygiene seriously and were in regular dialogue with the customer, keeping them updated whilst our investigations were underway."
In Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, which aired from September 1967 to May 1968, Ms Morgan voiced three of the Angel Flight pilots who defended Scarlet's HQ, the Cloudbase.
