AMAN was horrified to find a lump of raw meat in his vegetarian snack.

Lee Rose, 36, of Thorney Bay Road, Canvey, was about to tuck into the dip selection he had bought from Morrisons, on Canvey, when he saw a flash of bright red.

Mr Rose said: There was a lump of rawmeat in it.

It was bright red and raw. I was absolutely horrified.

Luckily, Mr Rose had not eaten any of the dip selection when he made the discovery.

He said: It was as clear as day and was a good two inches big and was just sitting there in the Thousand Island dip. I took the lid off it and that was enough for me. I nearly dropped it on the floor in shock.

Its disgusting and I wont be shopping at Morrisons again.

Morrisons Thousand Island dressing usually contains soured cream, tomato puree, pickled gherkin and red pepper.

Mr Rose said he had not been offered compensation when he returned the dip to staff at the Northwick Road store a claim Morrisons says is not true.

He said: I took it back to them and they apologised and said they would send it away, but Im not happy about it. It has never happened to me before.

US-based food processing company Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) has agreed to acquire natural and organic food producer Specialty Commodities (SCI) for $170m.

The transaction, subject to regulatory approval, will provide Specialty Commodities' suppliers, colleagues and customers with ADM's supply-chain and manufacturing capabilities.

Post completion, Specialty Commodities will become part of ADM's new WILD Flavors and Specialty Ingredients business unit. Its majority owner is Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison.

ADM chairman and CEO Patricia A. Woertz said: "One of the ways we are improving returns and reducing the volatility of our earnings is through the expansion of our specialty ingredients portfolio.

"Consumers around the world are demanding higher-quality, better-tasting, healthier foods with clean labels. We are continuing to add new product streams to our portfolio to enhance our capabilities to serve our customers as they respond to this demand."

Specialty Commodities processes and distributes healthy ingredients, including nuts, fruits, seeds, legumes and ancient grains for snack, ice cream, cereal, nutrition bar, health food, bakery, pet food and bird food producers.

Specialty Commodities founding partner and CEO Larry Leitner said: "SCI's suppliers, colleagues and customers will benefit from ADM's world-class innovation, supply-chain and manufacturing capabilities. And with our complementary geographies, similar business models, and shared focus on quality and customers, we see a bright future for the business."

Religious Council: Stand of Minister is outrageous

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism is appalled by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nancy Shukri's statement that the call by Perkasa Chief, Datuk Ibrahim Ali, to burn Malay-language Bibles was not seditious "as it was done to protect Islam".

"This reason is very repulsive, legally untenable and outrageous as it seems to give licence to such persons to continue making such racially and religiously provocative statements.

"The call to burn bibles is clearly a criminal act and is against our Constitution and rule of law. If this was allowed then we are no different from ISIL (or also known as Islamic State, IS) which has committed various criminal acts and beheadings, all in the name of Islam," the Council said in a statement, Wednesday.

In the statement signed by President, Jagir Singh and its Deputy President Dato Seri Jit Heng, vice presidents Tan Hoe Chieow, Kong Yeng Phooi and Datuk R S Mohan Shan as well as secretary general, Prematilaka KD Serisena, the Council said Nancy, who is the de facto Minister of Law should also know that "intention" is immaterial in a sedition charge in Malaysia.

"This is the reason that there is so much opposition to the sedition charges preferred against scholars, lawyers, activists, students among others," the Council said.

"In our multi-racial country any call to burn the Holy Books of another religion would definitely mean having crossed the red line. If Ibrahim Ali is not to be prosecuted then the Government has no moral right to prosecute others who have at most made some seemingly arguable and controversial statements," said the Council.

The Council also questioned Nancy's statement in justifying her earlier statements that it was allowed under the spirit of the Article 11 (4) of the Federal Constitution.

"This is really mind boggling. How could Article 11 (4) ever be interpreted as to condone criminal acts? In fact, Article 11 (5) effectively negates what Nancy said by providing 'this Article does not authorise any act contrary to any general law relating to public order, public health or morality," the Council said.

Among others, Ibrahim Ali had also breached Section 298 of the Penal Code for "uttering words, etc, with deliberate intent to wound the religious feeling of any person."
