Hi Kelly - I'm Tara and I work for ConAgra Foods and we make RoTel. I'm so sorry to hear of your experience. We do have preventive measures in place in our manufacturing facilities to prevent these types of things from happening but I'm going to be sure to send the details of your experience to our quality team for review. I'd really like to get some more details from the can and see if there is something I can do to make this up to you. Please email me at [protected]@conagrafoods.com at your convenience. Thanks, Tara ConAgra Foods Consumer Affairs
