Says best before nov.18,'08 code 2 a 04:20 3143 First person to notice crunched down & removed it (a piece of clear blue colored plastic) from their mouth, said look what I found, not much thought was given. The nuts had been placed in a serving container by me so I knew it was free of anything but the nuts. The next time I served them I had poured them into another white container, & I was the one with the crunch, then removed an almost identical piece. This was not funny! I have checked the rest of the container & there are no more pieces, but maybe some one should ck. this out!
