An unnamed pizza restaurant in Sweden came under fire for unapproved food preparation devices after a customer found a screw in his kebab. The restaurant staff blamed it on the salad tongs. Then it turns out that loose screws had been found in food before.
But the plot thickened when the customer alerted the local council's environmental office (miljökontoret). Inspectors discovered that the restaurant owners were using a cement mixer that had been painted blue for making salad dressing and sauces.
The owners were unable to explain what had happened with the pieces of paint that had flaked away and fallen off the machine.
"When I took over the restaurant, the previous owner told me that everything had been approved," the owner told DN, adding that he was new to the restaurant business and unaware of the rules.
On the health inspector's advice, the restaurant owner bought a brand-new food mixer the same day. Link -via Arbroath

I found a silicone ear bud cushion in a carton of milk recently. I guess they were rocking out at the dairy.
