Foreign Objects in Food

If You Find a Foreign Object in Your Food

No one wants to find a foreign object in their food. But if you do, here’s what to do.

Take Quick Action:

• Keep the original container or packaging.
• Wrap the uneaten portion of food and any foreign object.
• File a formal report with the store or restaurant.
• Obtain the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any witnesses.
• Contact us at 800-280-0070.
• You may also file a formal complaint with the USDA, with the store or the products’ manufacturer.

If You Have Already Ingested the Foreign Object:

• Contact your doctor as soon as possible.
• Be aware that foreign objects can have viruses and bacteria that could make you sick.
• Note any blood in your mouth or bowels, as broken pieces can have sharp parts that can cut your mouth, throat and bowels.
