Found pill in Princes Apple juice box

ganache

I'm not sure this is the correct place for this but I didn't know where else to put it.

A little while I went to pour out some apple juice and something that looked like a pill came out into the glass. I didn't drink it obviously but I had some juice from that box earlier.

It's one of those Princes 1l boxes, the seal is meant to be internal so you can feel some resistance when you open it and I did feel resistance so idk what happened.

The pill is soft and sort of mushy but mostly intact, it is a beige -ish colour but I think that's probably just from the juice. It's too late to call anywhere so I'm not sure what to do. I'm very careful about making sure things are correctly sealed before I use them and if something seems a little bit suspect I won't even use it so this is probably one of my worst nightmares.

I had the juice several hours ago, probably over five, I didn't see anything in those glasses and I feel ok. I'm not sure what to do, I guess I'll just wait it out until the morning and then call environmental health? Should they be able to find out exactly what it is?

Could it be an apple pip?

From reading your story it sounds similar to the pills in ice cream cones that was in the newspaper a few weeks ago.

No it looks just like some sort of tablet in consistency and shape and it has a perfect indented ring on the inside.

Dazedandconfused

I would phone out of hours doctor and ask for advice to be honest you can never be too careful goodness knows what it was

if you bought the food from a major supermarket.
They may be able to take your call and start investigating. They will have the contact details to get in touch with the princess technical director.
this is based on this being a pill.
Some things chemical cleaning tablets may look similar etc.
However they should not be there as well.

WTFH

When did you first open the container - was it immediately before you drank from it?
Is it apple juice from concentrate, or pure juice?
What size is the "pill", compared to, say, the opening on the container?

Surely a pill in liquid would completely dissolve, especially over 5 hours!

I would have thought (like pulliptears) that any pill would dissolve if in liquid. After all they dissolve in our stomachs once we have swallowed them. Surely the 'pill' would have been in the liquid at the point the liquid was put in the carton during the manufacturing process? I would think it more likely to be a bit of pith or a pip.
