Horrified mum has breakfast ruined after opening up ‘furry’ porridge pot

Horrified mum has breakfast ruined after opening up ‘furry’ porridge pot

A horrified mum made a shocking discovery after finding her porridge pot grey and mouldy.

A woman was left disgusted after she opened her supposedly 'ready to eat' morning porridge to discover the inside was ‘furry’.

Elli Coulter claims she purchased the porridge pot from B&M, but was horrified to find grey mould inside rather than her morning pick-me-up.

Despite first thinking that the pot must have been out of date, upon checking the expiry date she realised that the pot didn’t run out until April 2024.

Not an appetising meal.

The mum-of-one hadn’t tried the Ambrosia pots that she bought in Ayre before, and said that she picked it up to try as it was ‘something different’.

We don’t quite think that furry mould is what she bargained for as ‘something different’.

The 28-year-old told Ayrshire Live: “It literally ruined my breakfast.

“When I opened it I couldn’t believe what I was seeing I just said to myself ‘no way you’re kidding me on’.

“I had to do a double take on it, I checked the date again.

“It was just disgusting, it was furry and vile looking, it was horrible.

“You don’t expect to find anything like that in your food.

“Luckily I was able to make something else, but that’s not the point, I was looking forward to trying it.

We’re not sure, but it doesn’t appear that Elli will be in a rush to buy another porridge pot to try any time soon.

However, she did sympathise with the supermarket.

She added: “I don’t think it’s B&M's fault.

“It’s not something that any of the staff could check.

“I might have just been unlucky with a dodgy one, but the rest of the batch is fine.

“But it definitely needs to be investigated.

“I just wanted to warn other people, I don’t want anyone else to go through that again.

“It’s not what you want to see first thing in the morning.

“It’s definitely put me off ever buying those porridge cups again.”

The 'vile' pot didn't run out of date until April 2024.

A spokesperson from Ambrosia, which is owned by Premier Foods, released a statement saying: “We take food safety extremely seriously and take great care in the production and packaging of all our products so that they reach our consumers in perfect condition.

“When a problem occurs, we encourage customers to contact us via the details provided on our products so that we can investigate what has gone wrong and learn from it.

“We'd be happy to hear from this particular customer so that we can apologise for any inconvenience caused."
