"As well as wrapped bread, there was also unwrapped bread in this aisle.
"The manager stated they knew they had a problem and would order the pest control.
"My wife was told it may have been only one mouse and the food was covered. My wife was left feeling disgusted, as I do. I think more should be done. I don't want to eat my food with mouse droppings."
A Sainsbury's spokesman said: "Cleanliness and hygiene are top priorities for our stores and incidents like this are very rare. Checks are regularly carried out to ensure our high standards are met and would like to apologise to Mr Iliffe and his family for any distress."
