| | | found animal feces in frozen dinner
What is the name of your state? Texas
I was just feeding my 2 year old son a Kid Cuisine frozen pizza dinner, when I came across what looked like some kind of animal feces. I took pictures and saved the uneaten parts, what do I do now? I don't think the part my son was eating came in direct contact with what I found, but that is still some pretty gross stuff. The "object" was underneath the pizza, kind of embedded into the bottom of the crust. Should I be concerned for his health? I don't have a lawyer... yet... but I'm ready to take some kind of action, just want to think about what I need to do before I make any rash decisions.... Should I get the "object" analyzed somehow? Where? I don't want to do anything that may jeopordize any case I may have... Any resources / advice would be greatly appreciated... |

| | | | As for worrying about your son's health...call your child's pediatrician, talk to them, and tell them what happened. |

| | | Pizza's are cooked on Ceramic surfaces in 500 degree F ovens, sometimes some of the toppings tumble off when placed in the ovens and subsequent pizzas may become welded to the incenerated crumbs left behind. Even if it was rat turds, the high heat of the ovens is likely to steralize any remains if the poor rat survived the heat in the first place. Never look at the bottom of a pizza. Have you ever eaten sardines?

| | | Take the so called poop to a lab and have it analyzed to determine exactly what it is. Then come back and let us know. We have had threads like this before, the mystery ingredient in food. One person thought she had a deep fried spider in her shrimp. Turned out to just be a shrimp head. Someone else thought they found a piece of finger in their chicken. It was just a piece of cartlidge.

| | | thx for the replies, and I understand your skepticism. My wife took my soon to the doctor this morning. We will be calling the Health Department to determine how to get it tested. If it does turn out to be what I think it is... what happens next? |

| | | More than likely, IF it turns out to be feces you will get a coupon for another free pizza.

Our cat used to bring mice into the house, and we've had to clean up mouse crap before. It's just a perfect cylinder shape, brown and hard, and one end comes to a very small point, like you can see where good ole' mickey squeezed it off.... (sorry for the graphic detail, but I did check it out for a while)
We spoke to a lawyer again today, and they will call us later to set up a meeting. They want to get it tested as well. | |
