Venomous Spiders In Bananas:
In November 2013, Consi Taylor of London caught a real case of the heebie-jeebies when she noticed tiny little spiders hatching from the bananas she was about to consume. At first glance, she thought the little white spots were mold. “But when I had a closer look I saw some funny looking spots…and was horrified to see they were spiders. They were hatching out on the table, scurrying around on my carpet.” After sending a photograph of the spiders to a pest control specialist, she was informed to get out of dodge and not return to the home until it was thoroughly fumigated — turns out the spiders were the highly aggressive and venomous Brazilian wandering spider (or banana spider). She returned the fruit to the grocery store and they offered her just $16 for her troubles. Because that’s enough for a lifetime of spider nightmares.
Rodent Fur In Ketchup:
And then this happened. In August 2013, Brazilian health officials banned a batch of Heinz Ketchup after traces of rodent fur were detected in the mix. Authorities ordered an inspection of the factory where that particular batch was made as they banned all sales, distribution and marketing of the batch. No word if the special condiment reached customers before the discovery was made.
