Slight slide here. Heads up to anyone who may have bought a case or two of the 8oz. Dole 100% pineapple juice from Sam’s within the last week or so. I noticed a stain in the bottom of the carton while transferring them to the reefer. Upon further inspection of the can from the stained area, I noticed that the can was not fully sealed at the pop top and proceeded to open it and pour the contents onto my potted blueberry plants. That’s when I realized there was more than just tainted pineapple juice in the can. Upon cutting off the top of the can with my pocketknife, there appears to be pieces of cloth and what looks like guts of some kind. Pretty nasty looking. Once again, heads up folks. First time I’ve ever come across something like this.

Re Tainted :

I guess the moral of that story is 1) don’t drink out of the can, pour it in a glass, and 2) examine everything you buy carefully.

Please be sure to report to dole and/or consumer protection - any photos would be preferred, but not required. They’ll want date code on can as well.

It is likely they either had a line injury or what looks like ‘guts’ is bacterial growth from the improper seal. Both happen more then people realize. I’ve stayed away from food as I’ve read the regulations and what is allowed would put me off my ability to eat at all.

It is required for them to enter it into their complaint data base and investigate. If they find out it is in a certain date range they will initiate a recall.

If you got it from a case of product case package photo is desired as well. If you see any other with seal issues photo those also.

Worst problems I have in med device is trying to investigate complaints without being able to get additional info - so more the better as food complaints are the same way.

Oh one more thing by reporting it you’ll likely get compensation for the bad product....likely in the form of free product coupons, but it’s something.

Eww. I was flying out of Chicago one time and my crewmate and I were in the galley having breakfast after the service. As we were talking, she poured herself a cup of coffee and then opened a small, sealed carton of milk and began pouring it in when something suddenly dropped out of the carton into her cup. "What was that?!" I said. She gently poured out some of the coffee and took a spoon and sifted through the cup... coming up with a FOOT. We both inspected it... I think it was a rat's foot, but it looked almost like a chicken foot. In other words, a very large rat. Can't remember the name of the dairy, but it was catering out of Chicago O'Hare.

I immediately dumped the remainder of my granola and milk in the trash.
