Contaminated Food

Are ther any legal steps I can take against a major food company for finding large parts of an insect in an airtight can of canned food?Might i add,I didn't find the insect parts until i tasted something odd while i was consuming the product.That is when i discovered the two hind legs of an insect that looked to me like a cricket or a grasshopper.the parts were found in a can of turnip greens.The discovery literally made me sick and I still have not been able to regain a healthy appetite.

Re: Contaminated Food

You might be able to bring a negligence suit. Contact a local atorney. They may take the case on a contoingency basis. Do not throw away the food or bug.
