Absolutely sickened and appalled by what I have just discovered in a pot of Organix baby food

[DTWD]

My son loves Organix Fruity Chicken and Wholegrain rice baby meal and has been having it on a regular basis since he was 6 months old. However, today when I opened his lunchtime pot I was horrified to find a large lump of what I hope is chicken, but appears to be some kind of internal organ and not in the best of condition.

I feel absolutely sickened and only hope this entire batch has not been contaminated as this food is supposed to be for babies from 4 months old. My confidence in the company is shattered, I am absolutely appalled. I have emailed them with these images. Now excuse me while I go and throw up.

Lol @ "a couple of mice a year is fine"

That should be quote of the week winnybella!

There was s story years ago about the same company I think where a woman found something in a jar... turned out to be a turkey throat

I found a WHOLE fish tail in a tin of raviolli last year

Would keep lump and get onto company.

Good god, that is disgusting, at least it is Organic whatever the hell it is

Looks like the crop, I think.

my ex worked for Heinz babyfoods once upon a time; he would never let any in the house.

Maybe all factories are essentially the same.:(

that is truly disgusting

i would not only be calling the company themselves but informing the FSA as well

if it is old/manky meat then it shouldn't be anywhere near food

grim!!

DH just saw my face reading this thread and wanted to see what had caused the reaction

There's a lot to be said for cutting out prosessed food.

Bleurgh, that's horrible. I'm so glad neither of my dcs liked pre-prepared food, I thought it's because they always taste of burnt sweet potatoes, but maybe they were more canny than I gave them credit for.

Oh yuk.

DD eats more pots than I'd like. We needed to use them when we went on holiday when she was 7 months old and when we came back, she didn't like my food anymore

We're weaning her back now but she probably has a pot every day or so.

Time to step up the home prepared meals quota again I think!!!

Oh god that is disgusting.

Oooh yuk yuk yuk! I'm with you BrideofBlatherstein, have been resorting to pots when out and about (DD wolfs them down) but shall give myself a kick up the bum and get cooking!!

It looks like part of the hen's intestine but the greeny- bleuch stuff looks particularly grim and your child could have choked on it.

Write to them and they might send you a special package to have it returned for analysis.

Please tell me you didn't feed him any of the jar.

That looks like a teeth guard [yuk].

don't return it to them! it'll "accidentally" get lost
not that i am cynical or anything

i really would be contacting the food standards agency and asking THEM to test it and work out what it is

Just been giggling at the "No Junk Promise" on the side of the pot in my cupboard [hgrin]

DD now has homemade Red Lentil and Vegetable bake thanks to this thread

I think it's just a bit of chicken that escaped the puree machine. To be fair to Organix - they don't actually specify which part of the chicken they put in the meals. These might be the only bits they use. Bleurgh

Yes, I very much doubt any baby jars are made with 100% breast fillet. There will most definitely be some fat, gristle and an odd internal organ. I mean they don't taste nice, do they?

FWIW some internal organs are of higher nutritional value than meat

Do Organixs also do pet food? [grim]

Oh for God's sake it is a bit of meat you silly mare.
Be glad that crap in a pot contains some real food.

[grin]@moondog

true, true

at least it wasn't a mouse (see my post up thread)

They have been in touch and want me to send it to them. Freepost of course :)

Feels like a waste of real food though, so have instead decided to stick it in tonight's chicken casserole for a bit of flavour and texture.
