Ravenna, Ohio: Ohio woman Nickolette Botsford says she found a tooth with dried blood on it while eating cashews. She felt something hard while chewing on the nuts "and vomited when she saw it looked like a tooth", WOIO-TV reports. The hospital confirmed it is in fact a human tooth spotted with dried blood. Botsford was treated for exposure to blood or bodily fluids.

Botsford called Planters' parent company, Kraft Heinz Co., and they recently picked up the tooth for testing. Based in Pittsburg and Chicago, Kraft Heinz Co. confirmed the item was a "foreign object" and said they are investigating their manufacturing process and suppliers. Their email Tuesday night says they haven't received any related complaints.
