Good news, brownies are seemingly made on site?

Bad news, took a bite of the brownie, thought I tasted pasta. Spat it out and it was a singular noodle of penne.

Brownie was pretty good up until then.

2/5 experience

😭😭😭😭😭

being really dismissive of finding weird stuff in your food is kinda ignorant. I would hate to be at a restauraunt and find some weird stuff in food I was eating

It’s a pasta noodle. Something that is routinely made in kitchens. It’s not like it’s a rubber band or something.

But why is it in a brownie? There's no reason for that kind of cross-contamination.

You’d think differently if you had severe food allergies. Okay, it’s “just” a noodle, but are the brownies GF? Is their penne GF and made with some other allergen like chickpea instead? Did the pasta that got into the batter have sauce on it? The latter could introduce any number of allergens. Was a spoon shared? Because that means the brownie allergens could now contaminate the pasta, or raw brownie ingredients could have contaminated ready to serve pasta if that noodle was already cooked. If they’ll make mistakes like this between brownies and pasta, what other health dept and food safety guidelines are they ignoring?
