A Wakefield man lost his appetite when he found "dog shit" listed among the ingredients on a packet of ham.
Mick Woods, 34, examined another of the 300g containers and saw the same 'additive' listed on the label.
And he admitted: "Obviously I haven't eaten it. It sort of puts you off."
His partner Tracey, 28, bought the 99p packs of cooked, sliced ham from a store near their home.
The dad-of-three added: "We spent 40 minutes laughing. But we haven't put any in the kids' sandwiches and we had something else for our tea."
Manufacturer H R Hargreaves & Son said it axed an employee over the labeling prank and was trying to recall the ham.
A spokesman for the Manchester firm said: "We can't have people fooling about with food products. A number of packs are affected. We're trying to find out what shops they're in." (link)
Too bad about the recall. I want me some dog shit ham!
