Caroline Black should be glad that her watchful eye caught something abnormal in her baby's formula. The 29-year-old opened a tub of halfway used dried baby powder made by a popular formula brand in the U.K. only to find a dead scorpion inside. The mom's main concern was her daughter Olivia's health who up until that point had been drinking the contaminated formula.
Naturally she reported the incident to the company and expressed her disgust and concerns. That's SO scary!

Black now fears that her infant might get sick from drinking the tainted formula and says the company thought it was burnt powder and NOT a scorpion. She said, "You see it happening to other people but think it will never happen you." The mother knew it wasn't burnt formula and insisted that it was an arachnid of some sort.
Environmental officers analyzed the creature and confirmed that it was a scorpion. However the British company says they had it looked at again and instead it was small spider. As they continue investigation of the scorpion, Black was told to return the product she purchased, but many remain concerned.
The company said in a statement: "We are committed to the safety and quality of our products, and we take reports like this very seriously." Yeesh, this is one creature I do NOT want to find in any of my edible purchases!
But Black isn't the first unfornate person to find gross things in her food. There are so many that we created a gallery specifically for it. Check out all the weird things people have found in their food below…

Snake head in green beans
Misty Moser was preparing dinner for her family when a snake head popped up from her bag of frozen green beans. She was not happy with the company's response which was to give her a coupon, when her kids could have gotten sick from it.
Spiders in bananas
Consi Taylor bought bananas when she went grocery shopping and didn't expect to get the shock of a lifetime. As she was eating the fruit, a giant deadly Brazilian spider appeared crawling on it and there were also unhatched eggs. Ew!
Spiders on grapes
Yvonne Whalen was washing red grapes when she found something slimy and learned it was spider web. Along with it was a deadly black widow spider crawling on the grapes!
Crickets in burgers
From all of these on the list, this one is actually done on purpose. A restaurant in downtown Manhattan offers "Grass-whoppers" which contain queso Chihuahua, chipotle mayo, heirloom tomatoes, onion, and romaine lettuce, and crickets inside of a whole-wheat mini pita. I guess if you're the adventurous type go for it!
Frog in Salad
A Wall Street Journal reporter found a frog in her salad from upscale eatery, Pret A Manger. The poor woman didn't know the creature had been in her meal until she was half-way finished. The restaurant apologized for the incident and offered her a free lunch for the next time she visited.
