A Brazilian housewife has been awarded £3,100 after she found a used condom in her tin of tomato paste. British firm Unilever was forced to pay up after the woman cooked a meal for her family using the tomatoes, only to find the condom in the tin after they’d all licked their plates clean.
Unilever claimed it was impossible for the condom to have snuck in the jar because it’s factory process is completely mechanised, unless of course the machines were getting a bit frisky one night. As reported in the Metro, the woman told Brazil’s Globo newspaper: “It was the most horrible thing that’s ever happened to me. I think it will stay in my memory for a very long time.”
If I had just fed my entire family condom tomatoes, I’d want a heck of a lot more than £3,100 in compensation — people get more than that for eating a fish eyeball on I’m a Celebrity for goodness sake. [Metro]

If they licked their plates clean then found the condom, as described here, I would VERY dubious of the story. I mean, if you are cooking (as most the girls and boys here cook, I would hope) it would be quite tough to NOT spot a condom during the food preparation process.
Sounds to me like some kind of “too weird to be false” story cooked up to get some money out of a company.
I agree. I doubt a machine supervisor would be quick enough to put a condom in one of the tins. the machines work too fast to get the production completed. I dont believe it at all. Its crazy what lengths people go to to try and sue companies.
you tip a can upside down, contents fall out…
Quite obviously they for some bizarre reason have made it up to get some cash, the only way i can even think this would happen is if they got their tins from somebody else, and someone there glued it to the bottom of the can.
Were they plum tomatoes?
