Nail found in meat pie
PA Tauranga Bakers Oven, Ltd, Tauranga, was fined $3OO by Judge Terence Rice in the District Court at Tauranga for selling a meat pie with a nail in it.
Mr John Douglas, for the Health Department, said the complainant, an Auckland housewife, bought the pie last November and served it
to her family for dinner. Mr Stuart Crisp, for the company, said his client admitted the offence. The nail was from a paint brush used to glaze pies, but such brushes had since been abolished and spray-on glazing was used.
Bakers Oven produced more than 50,000 pies a week and prided itself on hygiene.
