A Massachusetts man definitely got more than he could chew when he took a bite of raisin bread he recently purchased from When Pigs Fly Bakery in Somerville.Michael Snyder said he heard and felt a crunch while eating a slice of the bread. After spitting the bite into his hand, he reportedly found three or four small rock-like pieces --and not raisins-- in his bread.
Ron Siegel, co-owner of the bakery, told press that the rocks were traced back to a shipment of raisins they received from Hillcrest Foods, a food distributor, which linked them to a Chilean company where an older method of drying grapes is used. The method dries the grapes in between the rows of the vineyard, which allows for more contamination by small rocks and other foreign materials.
The bakery offered Snyder loaves of bread as a refund, but he ultimately received a check for $5. I think he should have at least held out for a bottle of wine from that rocky vineyard.
