An angry mother claims her daughter found a broken security tag lying inside her morning cereals . Deena Jackson said six-year-old Beau had cut her finger on the jagged metal tag as she went to open the box of Shredded Wheat at their home . The 34-year-old , who bought the Nestle cereals from Asda in West Bridgford , Nottingham , said it posed a major choking hazard to her daughter who had initially believed it was a free toy . Deena Jackson said her six-year-old daughter Beau had cut her finger on the jagged metal tag as she went to open the box of Shredded Wheat . Both Asda and Nestle have refused to take responsibility for the dangerous blunder . Mrs Jackson , who lives in Gedling , Nottingham , with Beau , eight-year-old D'Arcy and her husband Alex , 45 , said : 'Both my daughters thought it was a toy as it 's got moving parts and could swivel . 'The end of the tag is really sharp like a pin , but it 's got a sharp broken wire at the other end too . 'Kids thinking it 's a toy are going to be spinning it round and they could get hurt . 'Neither Asda or Nestle are owning up to it , that 's what annoys me . ' The full-time mother said she had called Nestle over concerns that such a sharp piece of metal could get past their quality tests . The 34-year-old said it posed a major choking hazard to her daughter who had initially believed it was a free toy . ' I just wondered how on earth it had got in there , ' she added . ' I phoned them to express my concerns , but all they seemed to want was the box sent to them , and to reimburse me for the postage and have it forgotten about . ' I refused that initially as I thought it was too dangerous an item to just forget about it and brush it under the carpet . 'It just makes you wonder whether products are being checked thoroughly , especially for things that could be a choking hazard to children . ' But Nestle hit back , passing the blame back to Asda . A spokesman said the find was ' a security tag that retailers use on high value products . ' He added that all Nestle products had to pass through two sets of metal detectors and a security tag would have triggered 'massive alarm bells ' . The security tag , which was broken and sharp like a pin on one side , while the other had a jagged broken wire . 'Our packing technology is highly automated and we have strict procedures in place including metal detection on the sealed products . 'We are confident that it did not leave out site with that tag in there . ' Nestle are now planning to launch an investigation liaising with the retailer . However , Asda claimed that the tag had been found in a sealed box and therefore could only have been added in the manufacturing or packing process . A spokesperson for the supermarket , where the cereal was purchased , said : 'We 're at a loss to understand how this happened , as all products are packed and sealed at the manufacturers ' 'We 're happy to assist Nestle with their investigation . '
