I don't remember exactly when it happened but I think it was a few weeks ago that I bought a small glass jar of capers from Lidl. I opened it and ate some capers from it a few times and then haven't gone back to it until today.
When I opened the jar today I noticed something strange inside. I thought it may be a stem from the capers. When I pulled it out it, it turned out to be a large shard of glass. Of course, that was it for the capers. Even though I really craved for them, no way was I going to take my chances after finding that shard of glass inside.
I took a photo of the glass jar and the piece of glass that was inside it and posted it on Facebook, tagging the store's page. I doubt that will do anything though because it doesn't look that page gets updated. But maybe because I tagged them they will get notified and respond...
I should probably go back to the store and let them know...

For some reason the page for this store's location did not have a message button on FB, so I went to the general page for Lidl US and messaged them there, attaching this picture.

@lovebuglena You did the right thing. One of our supermarket had this problem (glass inside products in jars), the investigation showed that some workers at the plant was adding the glass to "punish" the company because they did not get a salary rise.

I contacted Lidl US on Facebook and they forwarded to their Quality Assurance team. They contacted me via email and asked for some info, which I provided. They are going to send me something so I can send them the shard of glass from the bottle for further investigation. They will also send me a gift card. Not that I really care about that but I will gladly accept it.

I was surprised and shocked to find this and now I am wondering if a glass jar of Chanterelle mushrooms I bought from Lidl is okay...
