Melbourne woman finds rubber band in Coles chicken pie

A Melbourne woman has found a rubber band in a Coles Thai chicken pie, sharing the nasty supermarket surprise with other shoppers on social media.

Tina Vang purchased the $3 pie from a Coles outlet in the Melbourne CBD on Thursday, and was reportedly horrified to find the band nestled between the meat and the pastry.  

“I accidentally ate one piece, but I didn't realise at first until I took out the pie from the box,” Vang told Daily Mail Australia.

“I hope I don't have any rubber band in my tummy… that's very disgusting in the pie.”

After Vang posted a photo of the contaminated pie to the Coles Facebook page, the supermarket responded saying they’d send the video to the ‘National Quality Team’.

“We'd encourage you to return to any of our stores with your receipt for a full refund or replacement of the pie that you've purchased,” a Coles spokesperson told Vang.
