A Lidl customer who was looking forward to eating a tasty packet of Pilau rice was given a shock when he discovered a dead mouse inside.
Richard Leech had just sat down to eat his dinner with his wife when he made the gross discovery last night.
Shocking images show what appears to be the dead rodent mixed in with the rice.
You can almost make out some eyes too. Gross.
Arctic blast on its way with below-zero temperatures and wintry showers
Mr Leech tweeted the picture to Lidl with the caption: Hi LidlUK, I wonder if you could let me know how this mouse got into my packet of rice. Now my house stinks of cooked mouse and my wife is uncontrollable vomiting.

According to the Lidl website, the Golden Sun Microwaveable Pilau Rice packet costs 45p.
A member of the supermarkets team responded to Mr Leech and said: Hi Rich, sorry to see this. If you pop us a DM with your contact details, well get this looked into for you.
It is unclear how the mouse managed to get into the packet of rice.
A spokesperson for Lidl has since told Metro.co.uk: We were very sorry to see this and have requested further information from the customer, so that this can be fully investigated by our quality assurance team.
