As far as I know it was just frozen pea's, we use McCain peas and I haven't found any in them.
ETA-Eek and Kandice that looks like the night shade berry! Scary! I'm so glad I posted this thread, so everyone can check their pea's!

Wow Kandice that's so crazy you were boiling peas when you read this thread and then found that!!!  How frightening!!
How the hell does that deadly nightshade berry end up in a bag of peas anyway!?!

Its because it grows amongst peas quite commonly anyway and they must have a machine that picks or sorts them. They actually aren't poisonous, they wouldn't kill anyone who ate them just make kids a bit sick. Still not cool to have in your peas though

It's not deadly nightshade anyway apparently, it's nightshade but a different variety. Still not what I want showing up with my peas!

It was black nightshade not the deadly ones.
If your peas have a star or a stork on top and seeds on the inside then it's probably not a pea.
I think it was just the talley's brand. As at the supermarket they have none of that brand.
