Probably a light diet pie
Some of the things found in processed food beggar belief. Most are accidental, bits falling off machines etc etc, But some are intentional but mainly harmless. A catering size tin of corned beef contained an entire set of bull's genitals ( cooked ) when it was opened in a school kitchen, several instances of requests for pen-friend contact ( before internet ) in various packets. Then there are false claims from people who say they have found foriegn objects with the sole intent to get compensation.
I knew a Glaswegian once who had once worked in the factory which made the pies for football matches. I can't remember which way round it was, but if the workers there found out that the order was bound for the enemy they would spit in them....
Pies are notorious for containing strange objects.
It's long been rumoured about the type of foreign matter than can be found inside a hamburger at McDonalds...

Just look on Google for some of the most bizarre stuff found in food. Condoms in soup, frogs in Pepsi, deep fried chicken heads, faulty chocolate ice cream...
Great topic this, been saying for years the forum should be more like this...

I have seen reputable stuff and there ce mark aint like that, theres not always room on the label to actually do that
Then the mark is completely futile.
The "China Export" is a myth, it's just companies trying to save space on the label. https://cemarking.net/chinese-export/

Don't forget all the other meaningless markings on Chinese stuff, the CCC one above and the similar CQC mark (crap quality control).
CCC (China Compulsory Certification) means quite a lot in China, or if exporting to China!
Aren't they from the development kitchen of Heston Bluemental?
No, you have not seen reputable stuff.

The mark is required to be of the designated design - there are no exceptions, no exemptions, no excuses.
If it is not of the designated design then it is not a CE mark, end of.

fair enough, but just because the label dont conform, would that also mean that the rest of the actual product is not made to CE standard and that you should not buy that product

Actually, both of those things are exactly what it means - that's the whole point.
