Strange things you've found in food!

We had a throw together dinner last night as we had unexpected visitors and by the time they left it was far too late to cook. Our dinner consisted of a can of vegetable soup and some toast. Whilst eating my soup, I found a piece of plastic in it! (I'm never eating canned soup again) :o

This isn't the first time I've found a foreign object in my food...

I found two cotton tips in a carton of milk and a really long strand of hair in a commercially baked custard tart. Eww... :sick:

So I'm wondering... what have you found in your food?

This wasn't me it was my brother and SIL. At christmas they got some chocolates from my mum (Whitmans), they were in a box and had a plastic seal on them. So they opened them and my brother took a bit of one and found a half a moth in it, so spat it out and he had the other half in his mouth (eewwww). He threw it in the bin and my SIL went to grab one and she found LIVE maggots in the rest of them :sick:, they rang me and I told them to ring Whitmans and then put the rest of the chocs in the freezer, they never could get through to them so ended up just tossing the box.

i fond a very dead ****roach in a cake mix a couple of years ago, so obviously now i make cakes from scratch;)

ewwww!
my brother once found fingernails in his coleslaw from kfc, all he got was a voucher for a family meal deal!

while eating at fasta pasta my dp crunched down on something hard, was a piece of metal! looked like the dangly hanging bit at the end of the saucepan that they use to hang it up with, we got a free coke and free meals, when I was a lot younger my family went to hungry jacks for dinner (was a huuuge deal, not something we did, EVER!) and I aws so disappointed cos my burger had a pice of foam in it!

also my aunty once bought a box of amway washing powder (not food I know) but there was a dead funnel web spider in it, in a big funnel web!

I found a metal shard in a Herbert Addams Spinach and Cheese roll once. I called them and they sent me out a gift card with a stack of promo stuff. They were supposed to send a 'kit' to send it back to htem for testing but htey didn't. I threw it out after it was sitting on the window sill for a few mths.

I found a three-corner-jack (*****le) in a box of DS's sultanas.

Got a $5 coles voucer (place of purchase) from the company.

OMG!!! And I thought the plastic was bad!!! I'm eating my dinner as I read this and feel quite ill... re: moth and maggots!!! :sick:

Keep them coming!!! :lol:

I had maggots in my Yo-Go dessert once as a kid.... turned me off them for life :sick:

I once bit into a piece of Domino's pizza and bit into something hard. It was like a piece of bichemon (sp?) (road surface!).... hurt my tooth real bad too... we took it back and showed them and they gave us a voucher for a free pizza... wow geez thanks. (not!!)
How does road surface get into pizza? We could only assume it had been dropped on the road?!?! :dunno: we couldnt work out what it was.

And as a young kid... Mum found a piece of white bread in the loaf that had what looked like rat poo in it!!! or possibly grease from the machine!!! we couldnt work that one out either

The list of things I have found over my lifetime in food is LONG, ink pad, wood, gravel, hair, band-aid, insects and so on. It seems to happen to me alot - but I think stuff must be in more peoples foods, they just dont pay enough attention to what they are eating.
Anyway, I am still feeling ill at what I found in my chicken pie last night - I will be throwing the rest of the box out and not buying frozen chicken pies again! ...what was it? ...well I`m pretty certain someone in the production line for frozen pies is missing a chunk of finger, and I dont think this is the first time human flesh has been in my food either - I stopped buying pizza shop pizza a few years back after someone grated more than just cheese and didnt seem to notice or care when they then sprinkled it on my order.


and how do cotton buds get in milk?

When my mother and I were on a coach tour in Europe, our group was "treated" to a meal at an Italian restaurant to make up for some shabby rooms that we'd been asked to stay in. Anyway, all of a sudden one of the fellows in the tour group stood up with his wife and left the restaurant and they were followed by everyone at their table. Turned out the man had bitten into a piece of chewing gum that had been in his salad...

And my brother, when he was in Year 7 and doing cooking at school, made some rissole and rice dish but had dropped it, scooped everything up and put it into another container and didn't tell us. Twigged when we found some shards of glass... :oops:

Many years ago my Dad had bought some DON kabana/salami and find a knife blade in the middle- he rang them up and they came out right away with a huge basket of DONS goods for us!

My aunt once had a thumb tack in her peas! It was gross.

We used to go out to our local RSL once a week for dinner when DH & I were both working... one night my DD got bits of metal scourer in her pasta. They refunded her meal and we then got a dessert which was mouldy!

1/2 a Fly in the cream of my Apple Turnover I bought from a "chain bakery store" after I have eaten the first half (had cut it through the middle and didn't realise it was there until I went to eat the other half.... :doh:

urggh ! all this really emphasises another reason I prefere to make things from scratch myself.

Oh, yucko!!! This is all very disturbing. A great read though. :lol:

I remembered once when I was pregnant, I bought two meat pies from the local deli... one for me, one for DH. I'd eaten mine and gone home when my phone rings. DH tells me that he'd gone to eat his and found teeth marks from a mouse or rat and had taken it back and I should check mine before I eat it... too late!!! :sick:

We ordered a pizza from Dominos once and it had yummy fresh tomato on it....and of course a lovely fat caterpiller as well that had been cooked up

omg omg omg! I can't believe some of these things!!!

I bit into a chicken nugget once and it had a big piece of red plastic in there. I sent it to the company who sent me a $5 coles voucher, and they got back to me saying there is no way it was in there as there is nothing that it is red and plastic in their factory!!

ewwwwwwwwwww this is so feral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just remember finding some clear plastic in a vegie patty from the fish and chip shop. It was really big and sharp like glass. I had been about to give the patty to ds who was 2 at the time, but thought I should test it first....
I rang the city council who gave me the number of who to call (food safety inspector people) and they told me to keep it and bring it in. They never got back to me about what it was or what happended to the place it came from.

I found dead insects in baby museli too and sent that back. They sent me a voucher for $5 or 10 but never said anthing about it. It had taken me about $10 in toll calls getting thru to them to ask where to send it...and the spending ages explaining that no, the insects were not from my cupboard! :rolleyes:

Usually I have found it hard to get through on the phone when wanting to complain and if they do respond, as many have already said, you get a pathetic compensation voucher - and as if you want to buy their product again after finding something in it!

some of these are grossssss!!!
i remember when i worked at maccas night shift when i was like 15 and some regular rude customers (always drunk and abusing us for being slow, trying to get free stuff etc) were being thier usual PITA selves, the bloke in the kitchen was rushing to get thier burgers and dropped one on the floor sauce-down...we looked at eachother and smirked and he just picked it up , put the bun back together and wrapped it up and gave it to them...naughty i know but oh how hilarious watching these PITA customers eat it ravenously :rofl:

I once was eating spinach and riccotta raviolli (back in my vego days) bit into only to find it was beef raviolli i looked at the packet which said it was spinach and ricotta rang up and they said it was my fault for picking up the wrong one gah!!!
