what if you find contaminant on store bought kids fruit snacks?
OhioGuy
was still sealed, as were all of the pouches. I gave half the box to my
kids over the past couple of days, and then opened another pouch today
and started eating a few. I had to spit them out, because there was
something really awful and gritty on them.
Take a look, here:

The contaminant is gritty, kind of like charcoal or graphite, and
breaks up if you take a spoon or something and try to crush it.
However, it does not make a mark on a white piece of paper. It was
stuck all over every single piece of the fruit snacks.
This stuff was in there right when the sealed pouch was opened.
Clearly, it is NOT supposed to be in there, nor is it anything you would
think to look for when you are grabbing a few to munch on.
I'm not sure exactly what I should do. I doubt I'm the only one who
has run into this.
On one hand, I don't want other people to be running into this if it
is dangerous or widespread. However, I'm sure the company doesn't want
the expense of a recall or anything like that. If I simply take it to
Kroger, they will probably brush it off and offer me a free package, and
that would be the end of it.
Anyone have any suggestions? I haven't ever run into anything like
this before, so I'm not sure what I should do. I tried calling the
telephone number on the package, but just got put on hold, and
eventually I hung up.

I would dig up the contact information for the local branch of the food
inspection agency. You could be saving lives.
I'd also take yourself, and your kids, to the doctor to see what it is you
guys have ingested. Have a sample of the stuff on hand for your doctor to
have tested, and another sample for the food inspection folks.

I would not panic over it myself. It looks like some burned
crystallized product fell into the mix on the production line. It
would make me mad that they did not respond to your call, but I would
not spend any time or money trying to eek some booty from the company.
That just drives the cost up for everybody.
Also, you may wish to learn how to compress photos. Just because your
camera takes 1.2MB pictures does not mean they will appear any clearer
than a 50kb photo properly saved. Consider using irfanview and or RIOT.

Do you have more unopened packs? Hang on to them. Contaminated food
should be dealt with harshly. I would think the company would want to
find out what it was.

She's clearly trying to kill you lot. Check whether she has you insured.

I doubt the sister wants him dead based on previous posts. OG is worth
more alive for his housing subsidy.

Best to take the whole family to get vaccinated for all diseases known to
man. Who knows what this snack may contain? I think it would be best
to contact CDC & ask them for their advice. And don't forget to quarantine
the whole family. And just to be on the safe side, pump out all the food
from
everyone's stomach & also do a colon cleansing. And don't forget to take
double dose of vitamins for the next 3 months. And you can never be too
careful - get a months presciption of an antibiotic for everyone in the
family
& also those who are within a mile radius.

Different sister - I have more than one. :-)

She could have insured him for heaps and has decided that
she is going to get the bums rush and wants to circumvent that.

Not necessarily worth more than the insurance payout tho.
