So Bob walked out to the living room and asked me how my stomach was. Pregnant = lots of barfing and queasiness.
I told him it was “okay, why?”
He then put a bug in the palm of my hand.
It took me a second and then I said “why did you just put a bug in my hand?”
He replied, “Because that’s what just came out of my jelly.”
*GAG*
I bought a jar of Tropical Brand Jelly at my local Albertson’s supermarket. The same as I do all the time. Today Bob slathered it onto his homemade sourdough toast and was a happy boy. Until he felt something to big to be a seed rattle against his teeth. He thought he broke a tooth. When he spit it out, he found a little buggy friend.
*BARF*
I am so lucky this bug wasn’t in MY mouth. I would have lost it. His stomach is a lot stronger than mine. Still, he isn’t a very happy boy anymore.
Now, I know you may say something about how canning, jarring type food companies have an acceptable amount of bug parts allowed to go through. But that does not make us feel any better. This wasn’t a small fraction of a bug leg that would have been missed and eaten without ever knowing (still, *GAG*). But this was an entire bug. It doesn’t get any grosser than that.
And, now that I’ve actually read the FDA report, I may never eat again.
Excuse me while I rush to the bathroom….
Read here about the response we got from the company!

OMG!! I would have lost it…yuck!
Yuk, I can not imagine and do not want to! I try not to think about what I dont know about in my food. Poor guy!
totally gag me w/ a spoon!!!!!! ugh!
Ewwww….
This totally reminds me of the time when growing up we were all eating chocolate cake as a family and suddenly my dad runs to the sink, spitting something out….a ladybug!
Apparently it was upside down on his shirt and he though it was a cake crumb and threw in his mouth. He bit down and of course immediately realized it was something gross.
We still give him a hard time about that!
And I’m going pretend you didn’t just tell me about the acceptable amount of bug parts.
LOL! That’s kinda funny. Gross, but funny.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Oh THAT is nasty!!! I hope you contacted the company!?
Not yet. It just happened this morning and I did what every good blogger does, posted it here first! LOL
Ewwwwww yuck, my stomach is turning!
Ugh. No other words. Just ugh.
Def. contact the company.
SICK! I thought I only found crap like that in my food! Well, I just found a HAIR in my baked ruffle chip, yep… I about barfed! I think we have some companies to contact!!!
This makes the plastic we found look like nothing. Ugh I would have barfed.
Reminds me of the time I was eating Lucky Charms and I found a black rock in my cereal!
Yuck. Kind of reminds me of when I was young. I was drinking some hot chocolate. When I got to the bottom, I started eating the chocolate that always settles to the bottom. Then, I noticed that one of the chocolate pieces was wiggling. Yes, the hot chocolate package was infected with meal worms and I had been eating them!!! (No, they didn’t really have a taste but no I wouldn’t knowingly eat meal worms again!)
OMG! You win! That is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard. I would have upchucked for sure.
EWW my that is soo gross. I would have been very sick if I saw that.
BLEGH.. oh boy.. That is nasty!
Yes, we learned about it in HS. I think it was 30 insect particles and 2 rat hairs per oz. of peanut butter. I do not eat it without thinking about it…how gross!
OMG! I was already a little uneasy this morning. What the heck??? I hope you have reported this to someone. That is the most disgusting thing I have every seen!
I emailed the company yesterday but it’s early and am waiting to see if they respond. My poor DH wanted toast this morning but wouldn’t eat it. lol
So gross! If that happened to me, I would never touch jam again. I still may not after reading this post.
Reminds me of the things my mom used to tell me about ketchup.
A former co-worker of mine found a grasshopper in the bottom of her milkshake cup at work one day–she wasn’t a very nice person so it’s okay
I’m laughing my butt off at Emilie’s post about her dad eating a ladybug and thinking it was cake!!!!
Tell DH to look on the bright side–it could have been a cockroach or some other bug more disgusting than the beetle pictured
Grose!!!! Makes me want to upchuck too. Reminds me of 2 seperate ocasions as a kid. Once I was eating a box of cracker jacks it had hair in it. Not just a little either. The farther into the box you got the more hair there was. It could not have been a simple oversite . It was like someone had gotten a hair cut and put it in the box. Another time (GAG) I was eating a candy bar (I think it was called a whatamacallit.) when I noticed little spider looking web stuff inside it and found it had bugs in it.
