A Connecticut woman found sharp pieces when eating a croissant at a Windham, Conn., Dunkin Donuts last week NBC Connecticut reported Tuesday.
"I was just floored completely," Priscilla Salas told NBC Connecticut. "They felt it was probably a frozen croissant from distribution center and they were going to find the exact location of it. I just want the public to know and be aware of what they buy and look over everything they eat."
Salas then notified police, and the Dunkin Donuts corporate office when she was informed the pieces could have been from a box cutter.
Salas found the quarter-inch pieces in the crossaint when she chomped down on the bread treat, and realized cuts on the top of her mouth. Dunkin Donuts is looking into the matter.
According to NBC Connecticut, Salas's occurrence was not part of any other issues of its kind. Salas will be getting a gift card for her troubles.
The news is the latest development since a mother in Canada encountered a sharp object in her daughter's McDonald's cheeseburger in June the Huffington Post reported.
"I was completely shocked," Kerry Brockie told The Mississauga News. "What if this had been a two or three-year-old who bit into this burger? "Thank goodness I caught it before I bit into it. I'm just happy a child did not bite into this." The McDonald's is located inside a Wal-Mart at Heartland Town Center.
"We hold our restaurants to the highest standards in the industry," McDonald's spokesperson Stephanie Sorensen told The News. "We have strict food safety policies and procedures in place to ensure our customers receive the highest quality product when they visit our restaurants. Thank goodness I caught it before I bit into it. I'm just happy a child did not bite into this."
The case was looked into, and Brockie was given a response in four to six weeks.
