Serres Father Bites Into Glass in His Toddler’s Koulouri

On Wednesday, October 21, a 35-year-old man in Serres, Greece, sustained injuries to his tongue and palate after biting into a koulouri, a traditional sesame bread ring, that contained a 2.1-centimeter shard of glass. The man’s lawyer reported that the incident occurred while the man was finishing the bread after his three-year-old child had already consumed approximately half of it.

The discovery of the foreign object has raised concerns regarding food safety and quality control. The incident is currently being addressed by the father’s legal representation following the potential health risk posed to the toddler, who had ingested a portion of the product prior to the father's injury.
