Did someone shoot the pig for lunch?
Bullet found in woman's pork loin casserole

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - Was the pig a victim of a rural drive-by shooting?

That's one theory a Publix spokesman offered to explain how a bullet wound up in an Ormond Beach woman's pork loin.

Diane Johnson's son-in-law found the bullet in a pork loin casserole she served Tuesday to her family. She said there was no mistaking the projectile's distinct shape in the pork loin she bought at a local Publix grocery store.

All meat is scanned with a metal detector before reaching Publix shelves, said Dwaine Stevens, spokesman for the company's northeast Florida district.

It's not clear how the scanners missed the bullet -- or how the bullet got in the pork loin in the first place.

Stevens said someone may have fired into a herd of grazing livestock.

According to the Wisconsin Pork Association, professional slaughterhouses don't shoot animals, for employee safety and meat quality concerns.

Johnson, 74, said she was satisfied with a $10 dollar refund and another fresh pork loin from Publix.

She said she didn't plan to sue because no one got hurt.

Are they sure it was really a bullet? My brother found a metal piece in a pork loin he bought. My mom also thought it was a bullet at first because of the shape. I thought it was too long to be a bullet and that it was a part from the meat packing place. My mom showed it to a co-worker who hunted and he said it was not a bullet. So I am thinking that the woman found the same thing my brother did, a piece from the plant and not an actual bullet. BTW my brother did not sue either since he was not hurt. We just took the piece back to the store and made them aware of it. My brother is watching me write this and wants to say that it was "damn good pork loin"

Eat beans, not beings. I've never found a bullet or metal anything in my veggies and tofu.

Why do I find it wierd that Publix scans their meat with metal detectors?

If she put it in there herself, she would have tried to sue. The article said that she was satisfied with her refund and some new pork.

Who make casserole out of pork tenderloin? Doesn't sound all that appetizing.

That sounds like an interesting recipe. Of cours, I'd make mine without the bullets, but I'm a picky eater.
