A resident of Dordogne had the unpleasant surprise of finding a ballpoint pen in an apple pie that he had bought in a supermarket. “We first thought it was a bean slipped by mistake,” he explained to the local newspaper.
The supermarket declines all responsibility, on the grounds that the pies were not made on site, but by a service provider. The establishment must “report the problem (...) to the Pasquier company” which had supplied the pie in question.
