When seven-year-old Kady Akester went trick or treating with her mother she hoped to get some sweets and at worst thought she may come across some scary Halloween costumes. But when the child and her mother returned home to look at the treats she had gathered, they discovered an unwelcome surprise inside. In a sealed tub of Marks and Spencer Super Berry and Almonds mix lay an inch-long screw. Toni Cole, mother to Kady, said she was shocked by the discovery and concerned about what could have happened had a toddler, or her younger son Zak, got hold of the tub.
