Would You Like Green Beans With That Sterile Rat Head?

When a Utah woman opened a can of Allen's Cut Green Beans she'd bought at a Wal-Mart store and emptied it into a pot, she discovered a little extra flavoring — a rodent head. Allen Canning offered the woman $100, then explained to The Salt Lake Tribune that "There's no way that product could have hurt her. This rodent was rendered commercially sterile. We cook each can individually at a temperature to 265 degrees." Apparently it's like finding a piece of chicken in Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup or a little square of pork fat in a can of pork and beans. Only more sterile.
