Trader Joes in the bakery section cookies ...took a bite or two and then dropped it on my plate.Cookie landed bottom up to reveal hair and an assortment of lint baked in.I returned them to store and they said they were aware and thought they had pulled all of that batch...apparently I was unlucky and I think I will never desire another so it will be at least good for my diet.

@dex  That's gross!  My daughter loves that store.  Me, not at all.  I go in there and buy her gift certificates.

 

I'm glad they have the store though I think everyone should shop where they want to.  I'll stick to plain ordinary Harris Teeter.

That's terrible. I don't really like that store. I guess it can happen anywhere though

@dex*****Somewhere, some time that will happen everywhere.  Don't let that turn you away from anything.  The Law Of Averages is totally against you!

I remember when I was in high school I was on my deathbed for a week with the Asian Flu. The first day I was able to be out of bed, I was hungering for a Coke, so my mom brought me a bottle. I drank almost the whole bottle when I saw something in it. I almost upchucked again and gave the bottle to my mom. She told me the cork from the cap had separated. Weeks later when I was completely recovered, she told me it was a cigarette that hadn't been washed out at the factory before re-bottling. Ugh. Weird s*** can show up anywhere, anytime. Thank goodness we have immune systems!

Oh my gosh, haha, gross things do turn up in our food, don't they?  

 

I once bought a loaf of bread with a band-aid baked into it.  From what we could tell, it appeared to be a "used" band-aid.  Ugh.  Woman Surprised

I am beginning to think that it is best to make your own baked goods and buy as little pre made food as possible.My husband said that he was reading that some disgruntled employee was seem on utube peeing on cornflakes.

I would complain to the local store, but not make an assumption that all stores are guilty by association.

I heard this cornflake story yesterday on the news. Kellogg's said not to worry, it was two years ago and all the boxes were beyond expiration date. Lol! That is supposed to make us feel better???

@dex Does your TJ's have a bakery?  I'm pretty sure TJ's by me do not.  Their baked goods are all made elsewhere.
