Summary: once-living things found in food..really



In Baltimore, the news reported a rat found *baked into* a loaf of
bread.  The bakery closed its store, never to reopen.  These things do
happen.   Other newsgroups have reported  cockroaches in bottles of RC,
and unidentified bones in poptarts (personal experiences).

On another note, the sanitation laws here require that if a customer
takes a product such as bread out of the store, brings it back
dissatisfied, and demands something else, that product must be thrown
out.  I felt very badly when the bakery had to throw out a couple of plain
chocolate-iced cupcakes because I wanted devils food but said chocolate.
If I'd had my wits about me, I would have just kept them and bought the
others!

Is this the law U.S. wide?  What about in european countries? And
elsewhere (Sorry,  you don't like being referred to as elsewhere:-)
