The habit gets a new name: “metal-infused baking”.
Sparkle Martin’s discovery of metal pieces in her Pillsbury biscuits has sparked a wave of concern and debate. While some commenters are outraged, others are quick to blame Walmart for the issue. Meanwhile, Pillsbury remains silent, except for a 2015 tweet that barely acknowledges the problem. It’s just another day in the world of processed foods, where quality control is an afterthought.
And the winner of the “most creative excuse” award goes to Pillsbury’s 2015 tweet, which claimed that the metal pieces were just “tiny parts of the silver paper packaging” that “sometimes stick to the dough”. Yeah, sure.
