A resident of Lancashire, England, Gemma Barton was shocked to find that her Domino's pizza was topped with nuts and bolts. She took to Facebook to post pictures of the contaminated pizza and called out the pizza chain for not paying attention to safety and health.
"Absolutely horrified by what I found in my dominos order the other night. Can't believe I ate half of this. Domino's do a quality check?! Yeah, right! A full-on NUT AND BOLT baked in the pizza," she exclaimed in the Facebook post. In the pictures, we could spot nuts and bolts in the pizza, camouflaged by the cheese. The metal parts indeed seemed dangerous and a 'serious choking hazard' as Ms Barton called it. "PLEASE PLEASE double check your pizzas before eating I'd hate if I or anyone ingested these," she wrote. She also beckoned people to share her post to generate awareness about this incident. "I'd hate if this was a more serious matter for someone else," she concluded in her post.
"At Domino's, we take customer satisfaction and safety extremely seriously - contamination of this nature is extremely rare. As soon as we received Ms. Barton's complaint in July we apologised for the distress caused and thoroughly investigated it at a store level. We swiftly offered Ms. Barton a full refund which she accepted at the time. We have reminded our store team of the correct process to avoid any future issues of this nature", Domino's said in a statement and apologized for the incident.
