An ALDI Australia shopper has issued a warning to other mums after saying she found a metal ring ‘stuck’ in a block of halloumi, purchased from the supermarket giant.
Sharing her shocking claim to a Facebook group, mum Cheryl says she nearly fed the cheese to her child before realising the object - which some believe looks like an earring or nose ring - wedged into the popular cheese.
Posting on Aldi Mums, Cheryl writes: ‘Hi mums, just a warning. I bought some halloumi from Aldi tonight. Cooked it and was about to serve when I found a piece of metal in one of the pieces. It’s stuck to the cheese.
‘I will take it back tomorrow as it’s now too late. But in case anyone’s having halloumi tonight or purchased this... have a double check. I nearly gave this to my kid.’

Concerned shoppers took to Facebook to question whether the metal ring was an earring or a nose ring.
Said one: ‘Eww is that an earring?’ Added another: ‘Yeah looks like some sort of piercing. Could even be a nose ring, yuck!!’
Added a third: ‘I kind of looks like a septum ring.’
But Cheryl was quick to add that she didn’t believe it was an earring, saying ‘It’s just a C shape metal piece ....’
However that didn’t stop others from voicing their shock. ‘Grosssssssss,’ said another.
