I'm glad I didn't read this before dinner
I had Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup for dinner tonight, along with some crackers and cheese.
Mother sues over chicken tooth soup
A woman who says she found a human tooth in a can of Campbell's soup is suing the US company.
Tina Keeney, of West Jordan, Utah, had just heated up a can of chicken noodle soup and given some of it to her 13-month-old son.
While she was cleaning up, she noticed the boy had a hard, white object in his hand.
"It's gross enough as it is to find something in your food anyway, but to have it be a human tooth that was in someone else's mouth is just sickening," Keeney said.
Her lawyer Daniel Irvin has had the object tested by a pathologist, who confirmed it is indeed a human molar, likely to be from a 13-year-old's mouth.
The expert noted the tooth, actually half a tooth, appeared to have been cut in some kind of manufacturing process, Irvin said.
A spokesman for Campbell Soup Co. said it has not been allowed to examine the object Keeney says she found in the soup. "I can't comment about pending litigation," spokesman John Faulkner said.
