First, be sure to save the food product in the same packaging in which it came. Freeze it to protect it if necessary.

Second, consult a products liability attorney at your earliest opportunity. He/she may wish to send the product out for testing to an indpendent laboratory to determine exactly what the foreign object is.

The attorney will want to know any injury you may have received, if any.
