CHICAGO -- A northern Illinois resident reported finding a bird's head in a can of pinto beans, prompting a Chicago-based food company to announce a voluntary recall on Friday.

La Preferida Inc. of Chicago, which canned the beans on behalf of New Meridian Inc. in Eaton, Ind., said in a statement that it was recalling a limited number of its cans as a precaution.

"There are still many unanswered questions, but we have decided to err on the side of safety," said David Brand, La Preferida's director of quality assurance.

The company is investigating to determine how the bird head got into the 15-ounce can, he said. The Illinois Department of Public Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are also investigating.

The DeKalb resident, who was not named, gave the can to the county's health department Friday. No injuries or illnesses resulted, the company said.

The cans affected by the recall bear the lot number 5348 MF on the lid. The batch was canned Dec. 14 and is marked by a best-buy date of Dec. 14, 2007, the company said.


Well now we know where they get their distinct flavor and aroma from.
