Hide AdSupport worker Rachael, from Looe, Cornwall, said she found the swap amusing.
She said: "It was very funny. It just didn’t make any sense. But it didn’t help much with lunch. You can’t make good sandwiches with a lightbulb. I just couldn’t believe it."
Mum-of-three Rachael, who lives with husband Paul, 31, also a support worker, said she was given a full refund.
An Asda spokesperson said: "Our pickers will always try and choose a product as close to the one that’s out of stock as possible when providing substitutes."
