Glass Shard Allegedly Found In Polar Puffs & Cakes Swiss Roll
After a hard day’s work, there’s nothing better than indulging in some of your favourite confections. So imagine the shock you’d feel if you found an extra ‘ingredient’ in your slice of indulgence.
Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened to a Facebook user who allegedly found a tiny glass shard when he bit into a swiss roll purchased from a Polar Puffs & Cakes outlet in Sembawang.
The disgruntled customer then took to the Complaint Singapore Facebook page to express his displeasure. Days later, the bakery reached out to the user to investigate the issue and offered a refund.
