Scots mum horrified after young son finds 'tablet' in packet of Doritos
02.04.2022 - 07:03 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum has hit out after her five-year-old son almost swallowed a 'pill' he found in his packet of Doritos.
Lorna Singleton, from Bathgate, West Lothian, said young Leon was eating a sharing pack of the chilli-heatwave crisps after school on Monday when he pulled out what she claims looked like a medical tablet.
The mum-of-two, who couldn't remember which shop she bought the crisps in, said she couldn't believe her eyes when Leo showed her what he was about to eat.
The 39-year-old added: "He was so excited because he thought it was a wee sweet. Just as he was about to eat it, he said look mummy, I found a sweet in my crisps."
In disbelief, Lorna quickly told Leon to stop eating the crisps and confiscated the orange tablet.
She said: "When I looked at it, I was shocked. I couldn't believe it was in amongst his crisps.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like a pill of some sort .It's not plastic, it's smooth like a pill and does look really like one. It looked like it had been turned orange from the flavouring of the crisps.
"It's scary to think about if he had eaten it what would have happened.
"You don't expect to find anything like that in your food.
"I'm glad I didn't give him a packet at school as I wouldn't have been there for him to show me it and he might have eaten it."
Lorna immediately complained to Walkers, the company who produces Doritos.
The crisps giant has asked her to send the item found within their crisps back to them in a prepaid envelope.
Lorna added: "Friends and family are advising me to only send half of the tablet back in case the other half gets lost in the post.
"I had considered looking into getting the tablet analysed myself."
A Doritos spokesperson said: “We take all complaints very
