An Aldi customer has shared alarming photos of a stomach-churning substance she discovered the bottom of a carton of tomato juice bought from the supermarket in December.

Jade Smith, 29, from Bristol bought the juice from the Longwell Green branch of Aldi in order to make a Bloody Mary cocktail.

However, after noticing the carton felt unusually heavy she cut it open, and saw what she described as a "vile object."

"I immediately took it back to my local store filled in a customer complaints form and they sent it of," Ms Smith wrote on Facebook, where she expressed dissatisfaction with the way the company had dealt with her complaint.
