A man found an inch-long iron nail baked inside his meal in Britain.

Health officers uncovered several abuses by the restaurant after receiving a complaint from a customer that he had found a nail in his food.

The violations included not keeping food appropriately away from contaminants as they were stored without blankets and seven other violations.

The court decided to fine the restaurant in absentia $ 20,000 after the absence of those concerned to attend the court session.
