    Default peanut butter with *extra* protein

    Okay, so my boyfriend and I have had this jar of Jif peanut butter and had been eating it for a few days. Well, the other night, he says to me "I wonder what these little black specks are in the peanut butter, I keep seeing them." Well, I had seen a couple of little purple-looking blobs, but assumed it was cross contamination from a knife that had been dipped in the jelly and thought nothing of it. I even had a little smeared on my toast that morning, and some of the "jelly" was on my bread... tasted a little odd, but I didnt really think about it.

    Sooo, that night, my man says "I'm going to rinse it off and see what it is" I was like, "whatever, knock your self out, its just jelly baby."

    Jelly doesn't have legs.

    Yes, there, in our jar of jif peanut butter, was a ground up roach that had apparently made its way into the processing plant. delicious. after being COMPLETELY mortified, he tells his two little girls (who we had this weekend) "hey girls, you know those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches you ate earlier? guess what, it had a little bit of roach in it." nice.

    soo, next time you find some foreign objects in your food, make no assumptions...

    Bugs fall into your food as you're cooking. They crawl in as it's on the shelf. They fall into food as it's being processed. There's no way to keep everything you want out of the food you eat. A certain amount of undesirable stuff is unavoidable.

    But I'd probably cap this one, take it back to the grocery store on my next trip, show it to them, so they can give me a different one and do whatever they want with what I give them. It's embarrassing to the processor, but it happens.

    In fact, within the food supply industry ....... oh... never mind.

    This happened to me before with Raisin Bran. Little black ants had gotten into the box... but with not much light, and all the tiny crumbs from the flakes, you really couldn't see them floating in the milk.


    About halfway through the bowl... the right light allowed me to see one... then 2......... 4.......... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!




    I don't eat in the dark much anymore.

    Well... that is..................... you know what I mean.

    i had a somewhat similar aituation once when growing up in florida. ants in that climate are pretty much unavoidable. so yeah- i made myself a PB&J sammich and was happily munching away when i noticed a "crunchy bit". (it was creamy PB). it tasted like a grain of sand, also not uncommon in florida. so i peeled the bread apart, and there were 3 or 4 little black ants in it. i went back and looked in the PB, and i guess the little bastards had climbed up through the threads on the jar. you know what? i finished the sammich. i did throw the jar away though. personally i would call the company and complain. they'll probably give you coupons for a bunch of free jars of PB if you bitch about it. my ants were my fault, technically. the roach in yours was theirs.

    Yech, Tampa!

    When I was around 10, we had shredded wheat cereal.. There were little tiny bugs inside. They came out when the milk was poured into the bowl. Now, I take everything out of packages and put them into containers with lids.

    I'm going to have to tell my Hubby about your peanut butter incident. He eats so much of it, it might make him cut back a little.. LOL

    ((Hugs))

    lol!

    well, i called the company, and quality control wants me to ship them the tub of pb, then once received, and they can verify that it is a roach (trust me, it is) they will reimburse me for the shipping costs and send me coupons for replacement jif. i was a little irritated, because the lady on the phone insinuated that i was lying - but I'm sure the company does get people who are full of it all of the time (trying to make $$ off of them).

    wow. you'll do all that jif? really?

    haha, think i'll just toss it and inspect my food more carefully next time

    This sounds oh so familiar. Except, I had bought frozen spinach to make lasagna...I had drained all the water out and set it in a bowl while i got the rest of my ingredients ready. Well like i always do, i was eating spinach out of the bowl (I always eat whatever I'm cooking while I'm cooking). So anyway. I was pulling apart the spinach and there was this 1/2 inch winged bug (not sure exactly what it was) in my spinach that I had been eating. Needless to say, I was grossed out. And I haven't been able to get myself to eat spinach for a while either. LOL.

    UGhhh...I was at a BBQ and my friends also had pizza. I went for the pizza and thought I saw a piece of pepperoni move and sure enough I was right. I bent down and just as I did an earwig dropped from the ceiling onto the pizza. They were coming through the vent over the stove. The little suckers were getting stuck in the hot cheese and couldn't get loose. Everyone after that went for the burgers.
