Topic: omg! This is shocking! Posted: 03 April 2009 at 6:06pm |
Just watching the news and a lady found poisonous night shade berries in her frozen pea's!! So there has been a warning released foe everyone to check their frozen peas for these berries.
One tablespoon of them can kill or make a baby or small child very sick, Adults would need to eat a whole lot of them.
We give Caden peas every night, this has made me feel sick to my stomach!

Caden LOVES them, has them every night and eats almost every single one off his tray, so this has made me feel quite nervous

Hmm, Maddi is sitting right now eating a cup full of peas
Did they say which brand they were found in... could it be any? DO the berries just look like peas? You have me paranoid now too!

I saw this and went into panic as we tried peas for the first time today and he loved them, but we don't have talleys peas.

Thank goodness I hate peas.
I prefer buying fresh veges at least I know when I cook them I know what I am putting in it.
There have been too many gross things found in food these days.

eeek! Um they looked a wee bit darker and had a stalk on them(the ones on the news). if its got seeds in it then I dont think it would be a pea seems as they are just mushy inside!
What brand of peas are they Kandice?

put it in a container and take the bag and the berry into the store you got it from kandice, they have to take all the rest out of the freezer and report it to the ministry of health and also the company, and you get a refund
