PITTSBURGH -- A local family said it found something suspicious inside a pack of ribs.
Saturday night the family ate ribs that Shawn McFarland had bought at a Wal-Mart in West Mifflin.
On Sunday morning, everyone who had eaten the meat developed stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea.
They claim they found small pieces of metal in the meat. Police later confirmed that the metal was buckshot embedded in the meat and bone.
Patricia Hinson said, "We came over my daughter's house to have a nice family dinner. I didn't know we'd all wake up Sunday morning sick. You worry about eating out and having food poisoning. Who'd think you'd bring your food home and it's not safe."
The family said that doctors at UPMC South Side Hospital later diagnosed nine of them with food poisoning.
Wal-Mart refused to return Channel 11’s calls. Smithfield Foods, the distributor of the meat, stated that further questions would have to go through their legal department.

i dont think they actually inspect each piece of meat... That would be like the FDA inspecting every single pill thats made..

Or the cattle were shot long before they were butchered by some kids from the side of the road.
Who would seriously use buckshot to try and kill a cow? Also, I would wager it was closer to bird shot. Double ought is pretty freakin' huge, and unless they were inhaling the beef without chewing, they should have noticed. Then again, I don't see how you could chew your food and not notice little pieces of metal. If I'm munching on a salad, I notice a short and curly.
Wanna bet this has more to the story than we are seeing?

That cow may have been shot by accident and the wound may have healed.
