Inorganic Matter in Organic Ham
If you felt good about purchasing your "Wegman's Food You Feel Good About Organic Ham," this news might hurt those feelings. It turns out that certain lots of the ham, which is processed by E.G. Emils & Sons, are being recalled because they may contain "extraneous materials" (bits of plastic). Contact E.G. Emils & Sons, Inc. at 1-215-763-9824 if you have questions, but don't eat the ham. Take it back to the store for a refund.
