I like Kraft's response about the mold:

Quote :

"What kind of mold is it? We asked an independent lab for an immediate second opinion and they confirmed it was mold. However, identifying the particular type takes several weeks so we do not have that information yet. Scientific analysis of mold takes longer than many of us would like. Mold that forms on food and beverages is usually a common mold. It’s generally much like common bread mold, though it may look different depending on where it forms. And yes, it can be ugly, gross and totally unappealing. It would be great if foods stayed fresh forever. But the basic laws of science and nature dictate that most foods eventually spoil and get moldy."

i would die if i cut open a capri sun and found that. mold or not. it is gross. especially when the date on the box is still good. i think i'd throw up like 37 times.

so is the lady just a dumbass then? cause apparently kraft said it was a leaky package. so did she think it was a good idea to drink a package that had been leaking?

" Photo: paul goyette, Flickr After a Florida woman found a disgusting blob of mold in a pouch of Capri Sun juice, Kraft Foods has taken to Facebook to defend itself and its product, Chicago Breaking Business reported. Melissa Wiegand Brown of Homestead, Fla., found the mold in her drink and posted photos of the "oval, skin-like substance" on Facebook. The pictures went viral. On Friday, Kraft Foods responded to the blogosphere with a section devoted to the Capri Sun controversy on its Facebook page. The company tested the substance Brown found and determined it was mold, Chicago Breaking Business reported. An independent laboratory -- Silliker, Inc -- then confirmed the finding, Kraft spokeswoman Bridget MacConnell said. On its Facebook page Kraft said that while the mold finding is unpleasant, it is not indicative of a wider safety issue and the company is not issuing a Capri Sun recall. "An issue with a single pouch does not indicate a broader problem, particularly because we were told from the start it was a leaking package and this product is preservative free," the company said on Facebook. "When a leak occurs, a preservative free beverage can spoil and mold can grow. We believe that is what happened here. Because this can happen, we include a message on the carton that consumers should discard any leaking or damaged packages." While Kraft said that while not common, because the product is preservative free, mold issues occur from time to time. "We regret this situation and understand that it is unpleasant," Kraft said. "Many of us are parents, too, so we care about what our kids and your kids drink. The safety of our food and the well being of our consumers are critically important to us. And we're doing everything we can to address the situation as quickly as possible.""

This woman apparently didn't understand this concept.

All the new capri sun we get have a clear backing on them now. Therefore her pouch must have been quite old.

the expiration date was nov 2010. so i dunno.

if it WAS a leaky one then she is the retarded one. she should have just thrown it out per the warning on the box and um common sense

i guess i should say THEY cause its 2 different stories. top pic and bottom pic are from different people
