Customers across Britain are complaining about their ‘suspicious’ cabbages – with one woman going as far as setting hers on fire to prove there’s something wrong with it.

Although it seems unlikely, Tina Demille even suggests her Tesco cabbage could be made of plastic or coated in plastic after noting the strange smell it produced after being set on fire.

Mrs DeMille, 52, said she was suspicious of the fresh Redmere Farms cabbage she bought from a Tesco supermarket because she noticed it was ‘rock hard’ and looked ‘not real’ when she began cutting it.

The mother-of-two, from Weston-super-Mare, in Somerset, then attempted to set fire to the cabbage.

In a video, posted to Facebook on Monday evening, Mrs DeMille holds up a cabbage leaf, and says: ‘What is going on with this cabbage?

‘It looks kind of not real. It’s supposed to be a fresh cabbage, but it’s just stiff.’

Tina DeMille, 52, (pictured) said she cut into the fresh cabbage and found it to be rock hard

‘I’ve just been preparing a roast dinner for the family, and I’ve had to throw all the outer leaves into the recycling, and we’re left with just the middle.

‘And I was just about to start cooking when I thought, hang on a minute, it looks like plastic.  

‘It chopped up kind of like a normal cabbage, but I thought it just doesn’t look right. It seems too hard.

‘So, I cut the middle part and put it all into water, and I thought something’s telling me this is not right.’  

‘So I lit it just now, and it actually smells of plastic.’

She added at the end of the video: ‘This is a big, big thing. Is somebody trying to kill us, or what?’

Mrs DeMille said she had bought the cabbage for 65p from the Tesco supermarket in Station Road, Weston-super-Mare, earlier that same evening.

She added she would be boycotting supermarkets from now on.

And those that watched Mrs DeMille’s video reported having similar experiences.

Ngozi Muoneke wrote: ‘Tina, it’s happening in London too. I think you should name or at least notify the brand to protect others.

Jennifer Wakefield added: ‘This is the second video about this I’ve seen on my Facebook this week. I firmly believe it is plastic. It’s horrific.’

And Caroline Wright added: ‘I’ve seen stuff about this everywhere this week, very worrying!’

Tina said she did not return the cabbage to the store, but instead kept in her fridge ‘as proof’.

And she added: ‘We’re just changing our whole way of eating from now on. We’ve done a big clear out from the cupboards.

‘We are now looking for the best local farm shops to buy all our fruit, veg and meat.’

Tesco have been approached for comment.
