My kid found a strange white sticky substance between two pieces of bread in a recently purchased loaf. Which option should I choose to deal with it?

 

Share your strange discoveries.

That's a little weird! Glad your child noticed before they started eating it!

 

I am the child of parents that lived through the Depression in the 1930's and sometimes It shows. I probably would keep the part of the bread that's still OK because that's how we grew up even though it was the 60's- 70's. No doubt that after I did that , though, my husband would come home and make me throw the whole loaf out!

Disgruntled bread factory worker trying to poison people?

 

.. or a bread factory worker who is waaay to happy to have the job ??

 

 

I would contact the bread company and take it for analysis ... Because chances are, your loaf isn't the only loaf with that shit in it

 

A recall might be in order

Gross, man!

 

I did a sniff test (probably stupid in retrospect) . . . it smells like marshmallow. Does Dempster's also make marshmallow cookies? Must find out.

 

Update: white gooey mass has disappeared. I have one cat who has been known to jump up on countertops. If it is still alive tomorrow, I guess the bread will be safe to eat.

I would let the bread company know about it, they'll probably at least send you a coupon for another free loaf... or more.

 

I once got a whole bunch of coupons for free Jack Link's beef jerkey, because one pack had gone moldy. They more than made up for the issue.

A friend of mine works in the pop business, and said some of the old timers on the production line used to run a small batch that were a bit underfilled, and before the cans were sealed up, they'd top them off from a bottle of booze. Then they could sneak out a few cases of pre-mixed whiskey-sevens or whatever they mixed...

 

Imagine if one of those cans slipped through and ended up on a store shelf. :laughing guy:

Boy do I feel stupid. My teenage daughter admitted that she did it. She heard something about how bread can make hard marshmallows soft again. She tells me this after I have emailed the company. Ha ha. Joke's on me.

Oh yeah. It'll be when she least expects it.

 

I have to say, though, it really works. That marshmallow was so soft and gooey I couldn't even identify it.

Maggots can also be so soft and gooey that she won’t be able to even identify them! :blaze:
