Food (safety) for thought

Sir, – I read and digested your report on complaints about food reported to Food Safety Authority of Ireland: "Human tooth, chicken's head and dirty fingernail among items found in food" (News Home, February 17th). Would there have been complaints if hen's teeth and clean fingernails had been found? And there's always chicken head soup to consider. – Yours, etc,
