When most people think about macaroni and cheese, images of ultimate comfort spring to mind. Ideally, mac and cheese is a dish that is soft, creamy and without any difficult-to-chew bits. Unfortunately for Rebecca Shorten, her most recent experience with macaroni and cheese was decidedly un-comforting.
Gallery: Bizarre objects found in food
Sunday evening, Shorten was home with her fiancee, eating a quick dinner of pre-made mac and cheese from Tesco, when she found herself biting into something hard in her meal. Before she could prevent it, she swallowed the object. Looking more closely, she discovered two inch-long metal nails in her dish. Later that evening she was taken to the hospital, where it was discovered via X-Ray that she had indeed swallowed a third nail. She is currently in the hospital and on morphine to dull the stomach pains while she waits for the nail to pass through her system.
Tesco has recalled the product from their shelves and is investigating the situation more closely.
