Found pill in Princes Apple juice box

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?

Any answers to these?

Having said that it has changed since yesterday, when I took it out of the glass it was like I said beige and when I pressed it gently although it held together it felt kind of mushy. I left it out on top of the box and put it away, now today it's harder, slightly smaller and a much darker amber-brown colour.

have you rang princess about this?
They will investigate and send the pill off for scientific testing etc

Without seeing a picture can't be sure, but I imagine that you have found a compacted undissolved bit of concerntrate, comes in a powdered form from the country of origin then rehydrated over here. Cuts down on the transport costs

I just don't get why people come into a thread to be antagonistic or why this site attracts so much idiocy sometimes.

Why act like it's totally bizarre and/or dumb to consider about contacting a Dr in this situation? I didn't but I thought about doing it and would have felt justified in doing so if it would have put my mind at rest.

And when someone posts on here looking for help you generally accept what someone is telling you about their situation and if you can't just it's a waste of time and just don't bother posting. FYI You're not helpful, you're rude.

I contacted Princes who are sending a prepaid package to send it back and will test it on receipt. They were vague about how long it would take to get the results. I really would have preferred for environmental health to do the testing but apparently they can't because I don't know where it was bought. My mom bought it a couple weeks ago and can't remember where.

Oh dude, please take your pointless contributions somewhere else...

Here it is:

As I said initially it was much lighter than this when it came out into the glass.

Don't send all the pill to Princes. Send half and keep half as evidence. It IS a serious matter: the thing could have dissolved completely and reacted with any other meds you were taking. They should pay compensation....and of course check their processes.

I would have been pretty comfortable with environmental health taking care of it but as they can't I'd feel better getting some of it tested independently from Princes, I'm just not sure where would do it.

What you have there is some solidified concentrate, the colouring gives it away. It happens with so called 'fruit' juices. By all means report your concerns, but don't expect any miraculous discovery.

That is obviously isn't and never was a pill. I can't believe someone suggested contacting a doctor who could be spending their time with people who really in need.

That doesn't look like any pill I've ever seen.

It looks like a piece of plastic!
