When surprises are involved with your food, it usually doesn’t end well: An Ohio woman is claiming she found some sort of gross thing that wasn’t supposed to be in a can of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs.

Jennifer Aker says when she opened the can she saw something inside that just wasn’t right.

“I opened it up and my face was very close to it and immediately you could tell there was a dead rodent on top, in fact you couldn’t even see the spaghetti and meatballs at all,” she toldlocal WCPO 9News. She showed her mother, Nancy Aker, who agrees that what was in that can just wasn’t right.

“We just feel so shocked, I mean, I’ve lived a long time and never had anything like this happen – and we don’t want this to happen to anybody else – and how could this happen is the question,” said Nancy Aker.

ConAgra makes the canned food in question, and when contacted, they asked for a photo of what the Akers say they found. Jennifer’s nephew Daniel went above and beyond and took the investigation to YouTube with a video. The food will be frozen, and ConAgra is going to send a courier to pick it up and perform tests on it.

“I’m not looking for money, I’m just looking to let people be aware of this. It’s just really gross,” said Jennifer Aker.

Says Dave Jackson of ConAgra Foods:

We take all consumer inquires seriously, and when a consumer has a bad experience, we work with them to determine the source of the problem and correct it. We also work with them to make up for their experience as best as we are able.
