When Cate Barrett brought a £1.49 jar of tikka masala sauce from her local Asda store, she was expecting it to contain a bit of a kick.
But what she wasn't expecting to find was the dead mouse which had somehow ended up in the jar - along with the rest of her favourite sauce.
The nursery worker had begun making dinner for herself and her boyfriend, Nigel, when she poured the sauce into the pan, and noticed it was a little lumpy.
As she began stirring the sauce through, she noticed what looked like whiskers and a tail - and immediately knew it was a dead rodent.
The couple took the dead animal and the jar of Asda Extra Special sauce back to the shop where a manager apologised and said it would be sent for examination.
Ms Barrett, of St Austell, Cornwall, said: 'I stirred the sauce around and thought it looked a little bit more lumpy than usual and wondered if we had too many vegetables in the pan.
'Then as the sauce spread out, I saw whiskers, legs, and a tail. I shouted out to Nigel to come to see if it was what I thought it was. Then I fished it out.
'It was a really big shock to see it plop out of the jar. It's going to be a while until I get another one of those tikka masala sauces.'
Ms Barrett said the seal of the jar was firmly in place as the button on the top of the lid was not popped out, which would indicate it had already been opened.
