Good news: the large, fuzzy creature that an Ohio woman found nestled on the top of her can of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs was not a rodent hoping to star in a “Ratatouille” sequel. It was just a fluffy, cuddly clump of mold.<\/p>\n

ConAgra, the company that makes Chef Boyardee, released a statement last week about the pasta’s rodent-free status. Despite the family’s claims in their YouTube video that they saw tiny feet, they were mistaken.<\/p>\n

“It’s not an animal of any kind, that it is most likely mold,” said Dave Jackson, spokesperson for ConAgra Foods. “We will confirm this with a series of tests we’ll be doing over the next two days.”<\/p>\n

Those tests are expected to be concluded by Thursday.<\/p>\n

Jackson says they believe the can was damaged on the way to the store.
\n“Sometimes a very small piece of damage to a can that would be very difficult for a customer to see, but we have the ability to test and determine, could lead to something like this,” said Jackson.<\/p>\n

The company’s advice to consumers: Don’t buy dented cans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Solid advice. <\/p>\n

We contacted ConAgra for the final test results, and will update this post when we get them.<\/p>\n
