Mum 'almost fed daughter shards of metal planted in her jar of baby food'

A mum told a court how she almost fed her baby metal shards that had been planted in a jar of baby food. Harpreet Kaur-Singh spotted the contamination after tipping the food into a bowl for her nine-month-old girl.

Farmer Nigel Wright, 45, is accused of spiking the jar as part of a plot to extort £1.4million in bitcoin from Tesco. He wrote to the supermarket giant claiming he had planted contaminated goods in dozens of stores and offered to reveal where they were in exchange for the money, the Old Bailey heard.

Mrs Kaur-Singh of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, told how she saw “metal chippings” in a Heinz Sunday chicken dinner last year.
