Dec 31, 2009: Don't Eat This One

Seriously, don't eat it, 'cause you don't wanna die. No you don't.

Larry says that he opened a can of chef boyardee recently only to find a horrible giant mold world growing inside. When he contacted the store he bought it from, Walmart, a low-level employee was openly hostile to them and said the manager "wouldn't believe them." Yes, that's the new scam: steal a can of food, open it up, grow a massive mold culture inside it for several weeks, then try to return it for a buck oh nine.


Yeah yeah, Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, doesn't come close to your lovingly hand crafted, scratch made, delicious, nutritious, meals you make. But c'mon, it's quick, easy, and fills the gut, so you can kick the little urchins out and bubble-bath/primp for hubby's return... or get back to the soap operas.

Now were careful not to buy dented or damaged cans when we shop and at no point did we drop or damage the can in transit home. The can stayed sealed until today....we can only imagine that there was a pinhole leak during manufacturing. Weve made a few purchases at this store and have had problems before.....unfortunately its the closest grocery store to us and is the only store that carriers many of the items we need.
The advice from The Consumerist...

Contact ConAgra, makers of Chef Boyardee, with the lot # of the can at 800-544-5680. If you want a refund or a replacement, go back to Walmart and ask to see the manager in person. You may also want to contact your local health department to keep them informed.
Yup ConAgra, Buster's favorite people.
