Inês, 52, has vowed never to buy tomato paste ever again. She has instead taken to planting tomato seeds in the back garden of her home in São Domingos, Brazil.

But it wasn’t possible as the horrified lasagne-lover had chucked it away. Juliana Bertoni, a lawyer for the company, said: “As much as the consumer tries to bind the product to a foreign body, this is impossible due to the process, which is entirely mechanized, without contact with the external environment or human action.  “The extract goes through several filters of up to two millimetres, so there is no way something bigger than that can be poured.”  The lawyer added that, after the filters, the extract is pasteurized at over 100°C – saying “there is no way to remain intact”.
