I like that the article really tries to make no effort to explain why there are 2.5cm rubber balls in 6 different products. Even the most basic question of "wot kinda ball" is completely avoided.
2.5cm rubber balls
all bean products
Calling it now: Bean farmer's kid dropped their bouncy ball collection in the beans.
authorities recall products due to fears they may contain british food
food-like product*
(sorry for being redundant)
On Thursday, Tesco was forced to recall a Christmas stuffing product because it might contain moths.
The supermarket chain said the Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix may be "unfit for human consumption" and apologised to customers.
Oi, I'll 'ave a wee bit of moth with my rubber balls

I imagine someone's Christmas turkey explodes in pieces with Moth swarming out because they decide to turn on the Christmas lights

Metal detector test balls, I'd assume. Which also would mean the metal detector wasn't working and there could be, like, metal shards too.
Can you elaborate on how these are used for testing? I assume they're not just chucking these in vats of beans and fishing them out later
You run a small batch of test product through with the balls in, then dump that product. They're used to calibrate metal detectors at the very end of the production line for detecting things like shavings metal coming off the machinery. It's likely that the batch wasn't dumped immediately, and was left unsupervised - so someone came along and packaged it because it wasn't in a container that was well marked as a test sample to be disposed of.
Food production safety can often be horrendously lax, because virtually all staff will skip or ignore parts of the production plan, either intentionally or unintentionally. Worse still, I've seen managers specifically write food safety plans that are designed to be cheated, for example, ensuring that a specific test sample is treated as it should be to meet all of the paperwork requirements, while all the food that will actually be eaten is handled at much lower standards.
I saw a little black ball inside of winco cottage cheese. Happened twice in a row so I don't think it was pepper. Haven't been able to bring myself to get one of america's premier lowfat dairy products since.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
