Is it just me, or are food companies starting to get really careless and sloppy these days? Makes you wonder.

nobody's perfect but this is the 2nd? 3d? metal-dusted food-item that i've seen in the last few days. i almost-never eat these foods but lots of ppl do and when food is "cheese-headedly" handled, it hurts and sometimes kills people and makes the company's other ouchless food more expensive.
