Spider found baked into vanilla wafer cookie
Aldi grocery chain is investigating after a family discovered a spider baked into a vanilla wafer cookie.
Eric Sowa found the arachnid in the cookie last Thursday. When the family complained to Aldi about the find, they were offered a $5 coupon and told the manufacturer would contact them.
Sowa called the coupon laughable, according to WABC-TV.
Aldi called it an "isolated incident."
The grocery chain told WABC-TV:
"At ALDI, we take the safety and integrity of the products we sell very seriously. That's why every private-label food product we sell comes with the ALDI Double Guarantee, which means we will replace the product and refund the purchase price of any ALDI food product if a customer is not 100 percent satisfied.
"Our understanding is that this is an isolated incident and our supplier has reached out to the customer to investigate the matter further. We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern this situation may have caused.”
