PORT HARDY -- Jessie Roland was, according to this story, looking forward to a beautiful day as she sat in her sunny kitchen eating her favourite cereal Friday morning, until she spooned up what appears to be a beef bone.
The bone, which still has remnants of meat attached to it, is about an inch and a half long.
Roland, a long-time Port Hardy resident, artist and business owner, was quoted as saying, "It just turned my stomach. All the possibilities that are going through my mind are grossing me out."
The offending cereal is Post Selects Cranberry Almond Crunch, purchased locally.
Roland called the number on the box and Post said they "would look into it" and took her name, phone number and address.
"When I asked them how they would do that, he said he didn't know," says Roland.
The company did not offer her any compensation. "They seemed a bit indifferent."
Roland also called the Better Business Bureau, who advised her to call Health Canada and report the find in her cereal.
