Man sues hummus company after finding animal part in dip
Man sues hummus company after finding animal part in dip_It's enough to put you off snacking for life.A man claims to have found an animal toe in a pot of hummus - and only discovered it when it was on his tongue.
Andrew Brodsky, 35, bought a pot of Sabra Spinach Artichoke dip from a New York City market at the end of September, according to a lawsuit.
He is now suing both Sabra and Fairway - on the city's Upper East Side - over the stomach-churning discovery.
'It's been pretty traumatic for him,' Brodsky's attorney Michael Schlesinger told Gothamist.
'The nail of the specimen touched his tongue and he had the thing in his mouth. And it's totally, physically sickening to him.'
When he spat out the 'sharp' toe, Brodsky saw the digit with a nail still attached, his lawyer said.
Before filing the lawsuit with the Supreme Court, Schlesinger said he asked Sabra to inspect the 'toe' - but that the company had 'no interest'.
He added that his client has dramatically changed his life since finding the unwanted garnish.
'He's no longer eating packaged foods, and can only eat fresh produce and fresh foods,' Schlesinger said.
'The sight of seeing someone else eating any packaged food makes him physically nauseous.'
The lawsuit, which does not identify the type of animal, seeks unspecified damages.
A Sabra spokeswoman said the company uses 'rigorous' quality control measures.
