"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.

Many, long, long years ago she worked in a Cambell;s plant ans saw a worker peeing into a large vat of soup being prepered. I never liked Campbells anyway, but her story finished forever my eating their stuff!

It looked like a huge burn from hot grease. It was scabby and partially open and weepy like big burns do. Totally gross that this individual was allowed to hand out the food.
Another time I was at a popular local steak house in rural north Texas and had dug into the tip of a slice of coconut cream pie - you know, a delicious looking cream pie and you can't wait to cut that first piece of the creamy tip of the slice. I like to actually look at what I am eating and I saw *it* just as I was about to stuff the fork full into my mouth - a dead adult German brown roach. We complained to the staff and the waiter said, "Well, would you like another piece?" They didn't offer to comp the meal, no less!

It was the grosses thing I ever saw in food. When I took it to the grocery store and they gave it to the rep from Campbells they gave me coupons for more soup, like I would ever want their soup again, I should have sued!
