Rude message found on Aero bars
An investigation is underway at a Nestle factory after a rude message was found on thousands of Aero wrappers.
According to a source at the factory in York, the words "S**t bar" appeared where the Best Before date and code would normally be printed.
The company said a "misprint" had occurred, but added that none of the bars had left the factory.
A spokeswoman declined to confirm what the words were, but said the company took the matter very seriously, says the York Evening Press.
"We are investigating what took place last Friday. Until we know more details about what happened, we cannot say anything further," she said. She believed about 20 pallets of Aero bars had been affected.
The spokeswoman denied rumours the entire staff on a particular shift had been threatened with the sack unless the culprit came forward by the end of the week. "We do not go in for threats," she said.
The wrappers come to the factory on pre-printed rolls of paper, but the Best Before date and a code are printed on during the production process in York.
A union spokesman declined to comment.
I'd like to control a machine that prints sell by dates on chickens' eggs. I'd get it to write 'ouch'.
