Procter & Gamble Co. is looking into a report that an Iowa woman found a dead turtle in a package of its Folgers coffee, the company said on Friday.

P&G spoke with the woman, Marjorie Morris, on Thursday. The incident was reported by the Associated Press.

Morris says she found the turtle in a vacuum-packed brick package of Folgers coffee. She transferred the coffee to a plastic container for storage in the refrigerator and no longer has the original packaging, a spokeswoman for P&G said.

Morris is sending the animal to P&G for investigation.

"We believe that this is an isolated incident," P&G spokeswoman Susanne Dusing told Reuters.

P&G, which makes Folgers and Millstone coffees, said it was not aware of any other such incidents.

According to the AP report, Morris, of Ainsworth, Iowa, said she does not plan to sue Folgers.

The report comes months after Wendy's International Inc. saw its sales suffer after a woman claimed she had found a piece of human finger in a bowl of the burger chain's chili. The woman and her husband were later arrested and pleaded guilty to charges that they planted the finger in the chili to obtain compensation from Wendy's.

It was a hatchling snapping turtle. They just showed it on the local news.

They also said that the turtle probably got in the coffee during hurricane Katrina. Which is what I was thinking since the main Folger's plant is in New Orleans and the plant was underwater for a while (according to a recent add I saw which had people from the plant explaining that Folger's coffee would be hard to find till they get their plant back up and running 100%)

Something tells me they need to check the coffee...never know...somebody might find a gator in their coffee next.

There is a reason I don't drink instant coffee. Import only baybee.

The best part of waking up

Is a turtle in your cuuuuuup!

gez that must of been some buzz.Poor little turtle had a heart attack and everything. But my question is this, how did the turtle make it into the bag?

It's like the Chicken head and feet that somehowbecame chicken nuggests at a local McDonalds.

**Jo Dawn** · 11-29-2005, 07:58 AM

The chicken head and feet thing is simple: Because McDonalds is nasty. Ugh. That was a big slip up on the cooker's parts.

The turtle got in there because of the flooding after Katrina. All sorts of things were messed up after that, and alot of animals (especially some small ones like that poor baby) got into places that they shouldn't have been.
