Bread and cakes may contain bits of overcooked dough which has flaked off bakery tins. It does not necessarily indicate poor hygiene although they may be mistaken for rodent droppings (which are actually black and regular torpedo shaped, whilst bakery char is greyish and uneven in shape).

- Risk: No public health risk
Carbonised Grease
The machinery used to produce bread and cakes is lubricated with a non-toxic vegetable oil. Occasionally, some of this may become incorporated into the dough giving the product a grey/greasy appearance.
