If You Notice This In Your Food, Throw It Away Immediately!

Here are some disturbing things lurking in your food!

Legal Stuff.

I once poured some frozen mixed berries into a bowl to eat. I wasn't paying attention as I was eating them until one seemed particularly crunchy. I pulled it out of my mouth. It was a beetle the size of a large raspberry. I wrote to the company to complain, giving them the numbers on the bag. After a while, I got a letter from someone who had apparently been in charge of that lot being made. He seemed upset (I'm sure he got called on the carpet, big time) and denied responsibility, but also included a few dollars to cover the cost of the bag of fruit. Needless to say, it was a few years before I felt safe buying another bag of frozen berries - and when I finally did, I paid a lot of attention to each berry. 🤢

A few years ago, I worked as a salesman at a vegetable stall in a local store. One day, opening a box of bananas, I noticed a similar spider between the bananas, it was quite large and dead to my satisfaction. One of the fruit and vegetable suppliers had warned me about the boxes of bananas and told me to be careful because there were cases of snakes. I live in Bulgaria, and this is quite far from Brazil, and yet the snake was alive when they found it.

I worked for an attorney who often handled wrongful death cases.

A lady called reporting that she had found half a caterpillar in a can of green beans. My boss said that she didn't have a case, but he'd like to speak with the caterpillar's next of kin.

I work in the food service industry and believe me, some food company CEOs don’t care enough about food safety and will often refuse to recall a certain batch of food due to potential contamination because they don’t want to lose money and/or customers. Take the Peter Pan peanut butter guy for example: he was sent to prison because of his greed. He was afraid of losing customers because losing customers means losing money. I’m not sure if he’s still in prison to this day, but the salmonella contaminated peanut butter case was a major case. Aside from that, I read the comment about the finger nail in the soup, and yes the nail was real. The only way it could have gotten into the soup was if it had been cut off a piece of machinery. I’m surprised that batch of soup was never recalled due to human blood contamination (human blood is considered a biohazard).

I want to have a cup of tea with the banana spooder and talk about his travels. All the places he must visit…

I was eating a fruit(Mango in particular) while watching this video, instantly regrets it🙂

Re: shellac and cows' milk. Shellac is indeed an "excretion" of the lac insect. Nothing wrong with it. After all, honey is an "excretion" of bees, as is the honeycomb wax, both of which are often had for breakfast on toast. Cows do not get mastitis because of too many pregnancies; it is an inflammation of the udder, sometimes an infection. It may be caused by an injury to the udder, but is not caused by being milked every day.

Way late to the party here, but:

Mastitis, as stated by another responder, isn't caused by cows being pregnant too often or nursing/being milked. It's caused by irritation or injury, or by the cows not being milked enough or often enough. So, a responsible farmer will strive to check their cows' udders for signs of chapping, chafing, wounds, etc., clean them off before milking, and apply ointments if the skin seems dry or if any injuries are noticed.

Cows are not hooked up to the machines "all day" as stated in the video. Usually it's twice per day for long enough to extract most of the milk, early morning and afternoon. And, most milk cows produce an excess of milk, far too much for their calves to consume. Thus they need to be milked regularly for the sake of their comfort and their health. If they are not milked enough it can cause serious health problems (and can lead to mastitis). As a matter of fact, while the milk industry isn't saintly, it's well known that happier, more comfortable cows produce more and better quality milk. They're also less likely to kick and resist being milked. As a result, even in big industry farming, milk cows are often treated at least a little better than beef cows would be. Sadly, many of the smaller milk farms that tend to take much better care of their cows are being pushed out of business as the tank trucks that collect milk don't find it worthwhile to visit these smaller farms unless the farm can entirely fill one or more tanks.

That said, I was grossed out by the clip of the cow someone hooked up to the milker with poop/mud all over its udders. As far as I'm aware, best practice is to clean them off before attaching the pumps so filth doesn't contaminate the product.

The crab eye theory is actually accurate, I found a crab in a packet of dried fish and it looks just like fish mouth bug, but with the 8 legs still there.

8:47 I remember the peanut butter fiasco. I was still in high school, and it was the first and only time my family bought Peter Pan peanut butter. We hadn't open the jar yet; we just threw it out immediately when we saw the lot number was the same.

One of my brother's friends actually got salmonella from this incident. Thankfully, he recovered pretty well from it.

13:41 I have a similar story to this. I was eating a bag of Salt and Vinegar chips, when I saw something.... black... I was confused, but then when i grabbed another handful of chips, I realized it was... A June beetle! They come around June, go into your house, fly a bit, fall on their back and die. Yep, thats what happens. I have no idea how it got into my bag of chips, but hey! who knows? Maybe it was just a bit hungry.

My gross story: I mixed up a packet of Swiss Miss hot cocoa and started to drink it, and realized suddenly that it was chunky. I spit it out and turned out it was full of what I assume were maggots or larvae of some type. There were no holes in the packet, and of course the packets are lined with that plasticky-foil type stuff, so they would've had to be in the mix when it was packaged. Although the chances of that happening again are slim to none, I haven't drunk Swiss Miss brand since then and never will again.

my 8-year-old brother and his 2 friends were over, and I put this video on TV. They got mad and tried to convince me to change it, but they gave up after realizing I wasn't. then, they actually liked it. They stared like freaking zombies at the tv and did not respond when we talked to them. They would vaguely grunt lol. now, every time they are over we watch your channel. thanks so much for the amazing content

I grew up around dairy farms in the UK and I remember the milk from cows with mastitis was either rinsed down the drain or was fed to the pigs (as long as the pig wasn't going to be slaughtered in the next two weeks), farms could end up losing the value of the entire milking session if it was detected in the tanker. They could also be liable for the milk from other farms being rejected if the contaminated milk was picked up in the same milk tanker early in the route.

A few months ago, me, my mother, and my grandma were going to Wisconsin to visit my great grandma (I know, a lot of generations). We went to a local taco bell and ordered, I got a beefy 5 layer. But when I bit into it, all I got was a mouthful of lid. Like, an actual, full on small sized lid in my burrito. We complained to the employees and they said they're sorry and gave us another order for free and added a few extra food items. I'm still a little upset about that but the donut holes were good!

4:40 Of course there will be a Black Widow Spider in your broccoli in Ohio
