Condom found in meat in Florida
WCTC reports that Patricia Gibson says she bought a package of meat from an IGA food store in Quincy, Florida, on Wednesday, and on Saturday afternoon when she opened the package, she found a condom embedded in her container of packed pigs feet.
After family members agreed, Gibson called the manager of IGA, and told him what she'd found.
She says the manager asked her "what he was supposed to do about it?"
Angry, Gibson called the Havana Police Department.
"This, that's a serious health issue. I mean, what if people are buying other packages of meat, and something like that's ground up in it? That's not right. That's disgusting."
The manager of IGA says pigs feet are packaged in house, but he says there's no way a condom could be in his meat, saying he is certain his employees are not engaging in any sexual activity in the meat department.
Havana police secured the evidence at Gibson's home in Havana, and told her to contact the Health Department so the state may do a thorough investigation of IGA's food preparation.
Man alleges he found condom in burger
"It had a sour taste and I felt something rubbery. I immediately spit it out and ran to the bathroom to vomit."
Hartless, 24, contends that what he bit into in his Burger King sandwich last summer was a condom — unwrapped and possibly used.The incident last summer led him first to complain and then to file a lawsuit in Rutland Superior Court.
Hartless said his first inclination was to complain to the restaurant's manager, who he said laughed off the incident.
"That's the part that upsets me the most, is that he laughed about it."
About a week after he bought the hamburger, he said he received a letter of apology from Burger King he said was vague and ended with the optimistic phrase "Hope you come back and have a more pleasurable experience."
