British firm Unilever has been fined £3,100 by a Brazilian court after a housewife found a used condom in a tin of tomato paste.
Cintia Mayerle and her family had already eaten the meal prepared with the paste when she discovered the rubber condom as she poured the remainder into a storage jar.
Mrs Mayerle, from Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, took the tin of Knorr tomato paste and its contents to the local university for analysis.
But she claims Unilever refused to believe that the condom had been found inside their product.
The company told Brazil’s Supreme Court that the offending article could not have been inserted into the tin at the factory because the process is fully mechanised.
