Caitlyn Lawton, 20, bought frozen fish fingers from Asda's Just Essential range for her toddler Austin's tea. But after sticking them in the oven and getting ready to serve them to her wee boy one evening last April, she was left aghast at what she uncovered. After cutting up the fish fingers to make them easier for Austin to eat, she realised that the tasty treats were filled with fish eggs, Chronicle Live reports.

I had cooked the fish fingers and my partner got the tray out, cut them up and put them on the windowsill to cool down. "I got the tray out to give them to him and noticed all these little balls and thought it wasn't right. I cut them up again and realised it was lots of fish eggs." The sickened mum was relieved that she noticed the unsavoury surprise before Austin tucked into his meal. She said: "I have really bad health anxiety and this would have pushed me over the edge. If he had eaten them, I would probably have taken him to hospital."

She said: "I'm never going to shop there again. I do my shopping on a Friday and went to a different shop." A spokesperson for Asda stated: "Unfortunately the nature of using fish means that there is always a small risk of roe making its way into the final product. "We have processes in place throughout the supply chain from catch to processing, including avoiding times of the year when this is more likely occur. "We've contacted Ms Lawton and offered her a full refund as well as a gesture of goodwill, and we apologise again for any inconvenience this may have caused her." Join the Daily Record
