Unwanted Additive

Do you remember about a year ago when spinach was making people sick? One of the biggest names that were hit by this contamination was Earthbound Farm Organic.

The other day I bought a package of Earthbound Farm Organic spinach and found a little surprise inside the package. It wasn’t listed on the ingredients nor did the package reference that I might find a “prize” inside. But as I reached in to grab a handful of leaves, my hand embraced another item.

Spinach Surprise

I think it’s some kind of packing invoice or something. It was ripped and I didn’t have the whole piece (I imagine there was some other lucky person that got the rest of it!).

I know this isn’t as offensive as getting a package that comes complete with a little E. Coli and I realize that accidents do occur, but I’m still not really happy to receive garbage packaged in with my food.

All I can say is that I’m very glad that it wasn’t a human finger or some other bizarre item that seems to pop-up in fast food items.

  1. You’re so lucky it wasn’t a spider or something!! YUCK either way.

  2. well, at least the form is marked ‘Organic’ and not conventional… you know… truth in packaging!

  3. I just bought some Earthbound Farm raisins. Maybe I got the rest of that form?

    You should call them and let them know. They’ll probably give you some free spinach.

  4. I agree- you should definitely call or write them.

  5. I wouldn’t be very happy about that. I agree that you should contact them about it. Couldn’t hurt!
