Trust the Gorton's fisherman?
The company has issued a ten state recall for their frozen battered fish fillets after a family reported finding pill-like objects in the fillets they bought and cooked. A woman in Pennsylvania says that she found one of the pills in the meal she was eating and her daughter also found one. She also says that her son spit out his food after tasting something funny but she isn't sure if that's from the objects or not. They went to the emergency room but they're all OK and none of them have gotten sick.
At first the company thought the objects might be chunks of batter or bread crumbs, but they said today that they were indeed pills. The recall is for Gorton's 6 Crispy Battered Fish Fillets, and the states affected by the recall are Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, Delaware, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Oklahoma.

I love the fact that this totally contradicts their slogan. I always knew that that bearded man in the yellow slicker was a shady character...
