Man claims he found an eyeball inside his can of baked beans

A baked beans fan says he may never be able to eat his favorite food again – after he found an “eye” in his can.

Martin Ford, 54, opened up the Branston Baked Beans for his dinner after a busy day working on a construction site.

He had bought the tin just seven days previously as part of a multipack of four from his local Tesco in Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom.

But the laborer was a sight for sore eyes after he fished out what looked like a pupil from the bowl just moments after he had heated it up.

Martin told The Sun: “I nearly fainted, I have felt sick ever since.”

“I’m a strong stomached sort of guy and absolutely love beans for my tea but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to eat them again.”

“I’d had a hard day at work and was desperate for a quick dinner. Beans are my go-to so I quickly whacked a tin open, poured it into a bowl and put it straight on the hob.”

So many starving kids in the world and he throws away a perfectly good eyeball?

Eye just can’t see the sense in it

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/finger-food/

“Fortunately, improved health and safety standards in food processing make such occurrences quite rare, and most reports of consumers finding body parts in food turn out to be hoaxes, frauds perpetrated to extort money from businesses, or cases of mistaken identity. (In the latter case, something that looks like a human body is often found, upon examination by experts, to be something else entirely. See, for example, our page about a scare involving a finger supposedly found in a can of menudo.) In March 2005, the news media were once again full of reports that such a grisly discovery had been made.

On the evening of 22 March 2005, Anna Ayala, a 39-year-old resident of Las Vegas was dining at a San Jose outlet of the Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain when she discovered what appeared to be a human finger in her bowl of chili”

I heard a story on the radio this morning about a woman who found a chicken head in her order of Chicken Wings.

She took a picture of it and sent it to the restaurant.

There are accounts like that from time to time, but I think it’s awful hard for the people to prove that they didn’t put it there themselves to try to win a huge settlement. Even if she did find one, the billion dollar company will likely fight it with a bevy of lawyers, and likely claim 8t is a hoax
