Keeney also said she has heard from others who have allegedly discovered unusual items in their canned goods. With each story, she said, her food reluctance grows.

"It just makes me wonder what kind of quality assurances they have," she said. "Who's in charge of investigating these things?"

If a foreign object is found in food at a restaurant, a person can file a complaint with the state board of health, she said.

As a pharmacy technician at a Salt Lake County grocery store, Keeney is sometimes asked to ring up food items along with a customer's prescription. When those customers have items made by Campbell's, she said it's all she can do not to tell her story.

"I just have to bite my tongue not to say, 'Are you sure you want to buy that?' "
