She spotted something rather odd looking at the bottom of the packet.
There, covered in crisps, was an entire potato that had been packaged up inside the bag.
Lucy instantly burst out laughing with the rest of her office and her boss was also left entertained by the discovery.
Despite it causing the office to be in hysterics, the smell and dampness of the bag was rather concerning.
She contacted Greggs customer service to inform them about the mystery spud.

Lucy was offered a £15 voucher from the beloved bakery for the faulty bag of crisps.
The bag was bought from a Greggs bakery at Bolton Gate retail park, Gtr Mancs on Monday (30 Sept).
Lucy, of Bury – who works for NWCE, told What’s The Jam: “Everyone has said ‘Luce it could only happen to you’ because I’m so fussy with food.

“Genuinely didn’t suspect anything as I was rushing and it was pouring down.
“I opened the bag in front of my work colleagues who were just as surprised as me.
“I was with my girlfriend at the time and ran to show her and my bosses who were hysterical.
“It was 100% inside and it was very soft, smelly and wet.
“I’ve emailed Greggs who have confirmed my potato incident and I am waiting on a reply from them.
“A lifetime supply of crisp would be great.”
Greggs replied to her email.
It read: “Thanks for your patience whilst we’ve looked into this for you.
“As a result of the evidence you provided, we believe this to be a piece of edible vegetable matter that would have come in with our ingredients.”
It said it would be extra vigilant in food preparations.
The email continued: “We’ll also be carrying out additional spot checks, by doing this, we hope to prevent anything like this from happening again.”
Greggs has been approached for comment.
