Needles in Soup Cans

I don’t actually intend this to become a blog all about weird things in food (observe the glory that is Kentucky Fried Roaches and Blood-Topped Sundaes), but it seems nearly mandatory to link to the story that contains the sentence “The incident was the fourth report of needles or pins found in food purchased from area stores in the past two weeks.”  (The area is Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.)  Pins or needles have also been found in bread, an onion ham, and ground beef.

The supermarket from which the soup can was purchased has declared, fairly sensibly, that it will be upping its security.
