Mum says she found toothpicks buried in three Lidl apples

A horrified mum claims she discovered 'booby traps' in her Lidl apples as three had sharp toothpicks 'buried' inside - and fears a 'sick' individual is targeting fresh supermarket produce. Susana De Castro was settling down for the evening with a red apple on April 11th when she claims to have felt something suspicious lurking underneath the fruit's skin.

Horrified by what she had allegedly unearthed, Susana's daughter began filming her mum peeling the remainder of the apples left in the £2.69 bag - and claims two more of the fruit contained the dangerous item. The family, who had purchased the apples from Lidl in Patchway, Bristol, on April 6th, feel grateful one of their children did not seriously harm themselves by eating the fruit - and are warning other parents to remain vigilant.

Susana said: "I thought oh my god. I couldn't work out if it had gone through to the other end but I couldn't see anything else. I was very shocked. My 12-year-old always just grabs an apple and tucks in - it was so lucky he didn't. My husband was shocked and really angry. The family returned the pack of apples to Lidl the following day - claiming the manager was 'very apologetic' and issued a refund. They are now warning other parents to remain vigilant of suspicious items lurking in their supermarket produce.
