Sainsbury's finally caved and pulled these dangerous Scratch Meals products from their shelves.

High ranking doctor of food safety confirms the increase in risk of harm to the public caused by Sainsbury's (and other supermarkets) if they continue to sell products from Grimsby based Scratch Meals.
A business to whom some of Scratch Meals' complaints were misdirected to have logged 18 foreign object complaints in the past 12 months, 4 of which came in the last 3 months. This shows the increasing risk and frequency of someone being affected by Scratch Meals negligence to food standards
Since May last year, confused members of the public have reported instances of glass, metal objects, pieces of plastic and stones being found in Scratch Meal's products
Essex based freelance investigative journalist, Suzanne Coen was admitted to hospital in July and underwent a medical procedure after swallowing a foreign object found in one of the prepared meals produced by Scratch Meals. Ms Coen purchased the contaminated product from Sainsbury's store in Romford, Essex. Another Sainsbury's customer from Reading claimed to have suffered an anaphylactic shock whilst driving due to poor labelling of allergens on Scratch Meal's products.
By the current, increasing rate of these horrific complaints it is feared that at least six people could be seriously injured or lose their life as a result of Scratch Meals and Sainsbury's negligence between now and June 2020. This is just based on one range and one retailer, the extent of the risk is far more than this.
In a comment, BRC Compliance Audit Manager said: "We visited the [Scratch Meals] plant [on 27th September] and as a consequence [their] certification has been suspended. The site will need to put in place sufficient corrective actions and a further audit will be required for them to regain their certification status."

Sainsbury's is gambling with our lives while Scratch Meals pumps out contaminated food that lands people in the hospital. We are about to hit five hundred signatures and I need you to flood your feeds with this link right now to force them to pay attention. Do not let these companies ignore the glass and plastic in our meals any longer.

I worked as Sainsbury's Product Safety Analyst and I was aware of this and recommended the products to be recalled. Shocking that Sainsbury's have carried on selling this.
Chicken was raw, when I complained the authority said it was the beetroot colouring that had made the chicken pink! Daft when I tried to taste it and it was raw!
I suffered an allergic reaction because of no label stating nut based ingredients were used in one of the meals. I could have died.
Ready meal purchased from the same named supermarket , use by date 8/12/19, piece of glass in it, thankful it didn't chip my tooth. Will never buy again.
I found a piece of black cube of plastic in the vegan falafel meal today that I purchased from Sainsbury's local to me. I almost choked on it.

Bought the chicken meal from a Sainsbury in Edinburgh. I bit into a chipped my tooth on stone. I will be in contact with Fit Kitchen about this

I am a journalist who was working on exposing this story. Sainsbury's not only threatened to sue for libel (even though the evidence speaks for itself) but bought advertising space and then threatened to withdraw their monthly spend with the publication I was writing for. Totally shameless corporate mongrels. Well done Suzanne for setting this up!
