Of course, considering this is hot on heels of McDonald’s recall of its cadmium-tainted drinking glasses, it’s starting to feel like somebody might be out to get rid of your kids. Think about that the next time you want to feed your children the quick and easy way.

Be careful.

  1. Yea, it's unfortunate. But hey! Not all of them are full of undercooked meat, just be careful to check the bottom of the can if you buy any. By now, most stores should have removed the bad ones from the shelves anyway.
