A mom was left horrified after her son’s friend discovered a ‘razor blade’ in french fries bought on a pier.

Ingrid Beeforth, 40, says the concerning find was made at The View Fish and Chips hut in Herne Bay on Saturday evening (21/9).

She had taken her son Russell, 12, and his friends crabbing when one of them, Leo, bought a portion to share with the group.

“They all dug in and were enjoying the chips,” she said. “After a minute or two, Leo said he wanted some ketchup but returned after a minute or two empty-handed as the ketchup was 60p a sachet.

“He thought this was too expensive.

“It soon turned out to be perhaps a good thing that he never got the ketchup as just five minutes later, Leo approached me with a chip on his fork and what I perceived to be a razor blade and said, ‘Look what was in my chips.’

“I was shocked and horrified at this discovery, and the subsequent thoughts of what could’ve happened had Leo or one of the other boys not seen the blade and bitten into it.

“It later occurred to me that had the chips been covered in ketchup, it would’ve been even less likely that the blade was spotted.”

Beeforth, who comes from the town’s Greenhill area, says she immediately returned the chips to complain.

But she reports staff claimed the item was, in fact, not a razor blade but a piece of machinery used to slice chips.
