Just an employee who cares more I’m sure. Idk the absolute gigantic scale of the plants that make these food products is insane. It’s actually impressive there aren’t more issues.
But like if you were on the factory floor and you were worried about losing your job and some random thing happened that ultimately probably won’t kill anyone would you flag someone down or just let it go?
I’d like to think I’d grab somebody if I noticed it. I’d say it’s likely just something happened and it wasn’t noticed.
You’d be amazed, at industrial scale how fine grain quality controls can be. With modern QC technology there is very little excuse for cockups in food safety.
You might get fired if you fess up right away. You will definitely get fired at a minimum once it becomes public and they trace the production number back to you.
Metal detectors are standard practice in food production, it’s part of HACCP, which basically every food manufacturer implements, I think it’s a requirement of SQF certification as well.
I’ve worked in food production, I remember a metal test stick going missing, and having to recall&rework 8 full pallets of product to find it.
That company has better QC than General Mills apparently.

Food processing around my area has metal detectors.
One asshole threw some screws in the food to get a break, twice. He got caught the second time, charged, I forget, a year in jail or something.
