"I found a Band-Aid in about the third piece of mine," Burrows told KBCI-TV in Boise. "A used Band-Aid."
And if that wasn't bad enough, her kids had already consumed their rolls.
"It was disgusting, sickening," she told the station. "I mean, my kids had eaten them -- I wanted to know if I was at risk for any diseases."
Her doctor said hepatitis could be a risk, but the Idaho Health and Welfare office said as long as the roll was cooked, there shouldn't be any health concerns.
Slashfood contacted Supervalu, the parent company of Albertsons, as well as Rich Products Corporation in Buffalo, which made the rolls. Stephanie Worrell, an Albertsons spokeswoman, said a "major investigation" is underway.
Lisa Texido, a spokeswoman for Rich Products, told Slashfood that the company learned of the complaint through the TV station and was investigating.
"As a company with a 60-plus year history of producing safe, quality products, we obviously take any reference to product safety very seriously," she said. "Therefore we will fully investigate this claim to determine, if in fact the product in question is one of our products and if so, the cause of the issue."
Cases of foreign objects turning up in food are nothing new. Last year, a North Carolina man found mouse parts in his hot dog bun, and the occasional (yet still disgusting) stray hair happens more often than one would care to admit. But the cases are not always legit. In 2005, a couple admitted planting a fingertip in a bowl of chili in order to swindle Wendy's.

I knew salad wasn't supposed to be chewy, so I spit it out. It was a used bandaid that had slipped off of someone's finger. My step-mother ran to the restroom, & threw up, while my Dad threw a fit ! It was definately something I knew I'd never forget !

He said when he bit down on it, he got this wet rush of disgusting nicotine in his mouth! Yuk! The Chinese restaurant refused to take any responsibility. Last time we ordered there!

My meal was replaced and the entire tables meals were paid for, as well as a $50 gift certificate for the future. Have been going there for 25 years and will go for another 25...

The work was done at night so the daytime operations of the company would not be interrupted. I saw numerous rat traps and one night, while painting the stairwell railings near where the old airplane hangs, a rat the size of an alley cat (and I thought they were big in Korea!) ran past me. I cornered the rat and killed it with my painting pole and threw it in the dumpster. I will NEVER, NEVER, EVER, eat anything from Rich Products. I saw numerous rats and rodent droppings. This is true and factual.

I put the top back on and, when the waitress came over a few minutes later, I took it off and showed it to her, without saying a word. She simply took the plate and in a very short (very short) time, she brought me another cheeseburger, put it in front of me, and said nothing. There is no doubt in my mind that it was the same burger, flyless.

This happened to me TWICE in 3 months time. The first time it was in a package of frozen Meatballs, the second time it was in Maui,Maui frozen fish both from Trader Joe's Supermarket. I was in the proccess of eating the product when the fake nail fell out onto my plate. Both times I returned the product to the store- fake fingernail and all. Trader Joe's denied it was a fake fingernail although it was obvious and offered me a $10 shoppers card for my inconvience. Ha!

My cousin-in-law is stirring her drink with her straw and notices something in her cup. She pulls a piece of ice out that had a fly frozen in it. They make her a new drink, and being skeptical she checks her drink once more. Floating on the top was another fly. By this time the manager thought she was playing around and the waiter was just embarrassed. Her 3rd drink was fine, but she opted not to check it for fear of what she would find. It was funny.

I also was eating a burrito several years ago from a local mexican restaurant and felt something in my throat and on my tongue. I reached in my mouth and pulled out a long black hair.

I ordered a champ burger that comes with all the works lettuce, tomato, etc... well when I took a bite of my burger I happened to chewing on a corner piece of a plastic bag, fortunately I did not swallow for I am sure I would have choked.
