No one hurt Made Dec 19, 2014, sent to the company Jan 21, 2015, published by CPSC Feb 4, 2015
The product, in the report: Hormel Real Bacon Pieces Food Dryer Inside Container, Rectangular-Shaped Blue Piece of Plastic (Mixed In With The Bacon Pieces To Retain Moisture), Approximately 3/8 in. by 1/4 in.
12/18/2014 The consumer opened the product and began consumption with a tablespoon. He did not see the plastic inside it and almost swallowed the food dryer. The consumer indicates that a label on the plastic food dryer states not to eat it but he is concerned because the it is very small and can be easily swallowed.
The consumer spit his mouthful out when he felt something harder than the bacon bites inside and noticed that he had began chewing on the food dryer.
The consumer reports that he always purchases this product but it was only until recently that the packaging was changed from a glass jar to a plastic container. The glass jar did not include the food dryer, thus the consumer never had any concerns with the product in the past.
The consumer has no injuries to report. The consumer believes this product poses a safety hazard. The consumer plans to voice his concerns to the manufacturer.
The consumer contacted Hormel about his concerns about the possibility of choking on the oxygen absorber. The contact person said they would let packaging know about the consumer’s concerns. Contact was made 12/22/2014 phone number 1-800-523-4635.
