Supermarket chain Aldi has apologised to a dog owner who claimed she found shards of plastic in one of their treats.

The dog owner posted images on Facebook which appeared to show small pieces of blue plastic embedded in the bone-shaped biscuits.

Nicola McMahon wrote on Facebook: “If anyone buys their dog treats from Aldi UK be aware I’ve come across blue plastic and jaggy plastic in their Bisky Bones today.

“Glad I noticed it before I gave them to Winston. Also checked the ingredients and it definitely doesn’t say plastic

An Aldi spokesperson told Edinburgh Live: “We apologise to Ms McMahon and would encourage her to contact Aldi to return the product so we can further investigate this with our supplier.”
