Droppings in bread

[GatineauGirl]

I found some small dark cylindrical 'things' in a loaf of egg bread that I bought at a major grocery store. I am wondering if they are mouse droppings. Gross, I know. I don't know how I would determine if indeed that is what they are. Thoughts/suggestions anybody? (I tried looking for help on-line from the Federal Government, but that was fruitless.)

Get in touch with the brand's head office??

GatineauGirl, call your Health Unit on Monday and have someone take a look at it. I wouldn't contact the company until you know what it is; you'll have some info that way, hopefully.
Or, contact your MPP and ask her or him for information on where to send a "part!" of it for analysis....

I'd take it back to the store. Any possibility they could be some type of seed/grain or sprouted grain? Sometimes bits from other baking get into other loaves.

Thank you Tweets, Lynn and Natalka....appreciate your feedback on this. The bread was inadvertently disposed of, so I can't do anything about it now. You'd think that there would be some easy way to check on this sort of thing, wouldn't you? Doesn't make me feel very trusting of the way our foods are made. (I won't buy store-made bread from that grocery store again, though!)

absolutely . Natalka is correct, perhaps poppy seeds or another bakery ingredient? but even then, when in doubt, throw it out, not worth taking a chance with your health, contact the retailer with concerns for sure.
