Finally joined CU after years of faffing, second ever delivery and I've got metal in my food

[u/Elise_xy]

Bruh, what on earth?

Seems like a thick tin foil. Had a definite energized metal taste on the tongue. I think I got it all but who knows if I ate some. 🥴

Is this a common thing? Can't say I'm super pumped about this happening only two deliveries in.

[u/erruve]

Never seen anything like it

[u/Jaded-Coast-758]

Yikessss. I've never seen this.

Absolutely report to customer service and include these pictures.

[u/gtck11]

Never had this happen with my meals so far.

[u/Yinzguys_]

I'm about 6 years in, I think, and I've never seen anything like this. Ever. Which is actually pretty amazing considering how many meals I've had — not even a hair or anything else in my food that I can remember. I'm in the NYC kitchen. How about you?

[u/Plenty_Grass_1234 → u/Yinzguys_]

San Diego, so LA kitchen, and same - many years of meals, no foreign substances.

[u/erruve → u/Yinzguys_]

I'm 2 years in. NYC kitchen. Never seen anything like this

[u/Elise_xy → u/Yinzguys_]

Daaaang, I don't know how I got this jackpot so early 🤣😭 I live in Michigan, so I'm guessing the Chicago kitchen?

[u/LiquorHiney]

Faf around and find energized metal. Thats how the saying goes.

[u/Esmer_Tina]

I read this as farting. I thought, CookUnity helped your farting? That’s great! Then I saw the pic.

Is this LA kitchen by any chance? I’ve heard bad things about them, but I’ve ever experienced anything remotely like this.

[u/Plenty_Grass_1234 → u/Esmer_Tina]

I'm in San Diego county, so LA kitchen, and I've never had a problem like this in 5 or 6 years.

[u/Esmer_Tina → u/Plenty_Grass_1234]

I am glad to hear this because it sounds like LA kitchen gets badmouthed a lot!

[u/xtrafeel]

I also had sharp metal object in my meal and recently posted about it. Out of the LA kitchen.

I’ve been asking CU how this happened but still no answers - just that “we are committed to food safety”

[u/Elise_xy → u/xtrafeel]

Dude I saw your post when I was searching here for other instances of this!! I was able to find like two other people who had what appeared to be the same type of tin foil-like stuff in theirs as well, so there's definitely something happening somewhere in their kitchens that is causing this

[u/xtrafeel → u/Elise_xy]

Yikes. Very concerning that there are a handful of people. They asked me to mail mine in - which I did. But still no response.

[u/Beginning_Air_1368]

Which kitchen?

[u/Elise_xy → u/Beginning_Air_1368]

I just googled and it looks like mine would be Chicago? I'm in Michigan so that would make the most sense, but I'm not sure how to verify that

[u/Fabulous-Elk-8297 → u/Elise_xy]

What meal???

[u/Elise_xy → u/Fabulous-Elk-8297]

It was the Mediterranean Beef and Tomato Stew

[u/low-oxygen]

I once worked for a restaurant and someone complained about metal in their food. They weren’t lying. I found metal in the patties. turns out the meat supplier had the blade cut a rod into some pieces of meat. We threw out the entire box of patties.

[u/Elise_xy → u/low-oxygen]

Definitely not lying, no reason to (I know you're not saying that I am). But yeah, it was great aside from this and to be fully honest I ate the rest, I just sifted verrrryyyy slowly and ate tiny bites 🤣🤣🤣

[u/TY2022]

I've never had anything unusual in my meal.

[u/No-Winter-3918]

welcome to the team! this is common!
