CHICAGO (Reuters) - Procter & Gamble Co. is looking into a report that an Iowa woman found a dead turtle in a package of its Folgers coffee, the company said on Friday.

P&G spoke with the woman, Marjorie Morris, on Thursday. The incident was reported by the Associated Press.

Morris says she found the turtle in a vacuum-packed brick package of Folgers coffee. She transferred the coffee to a plastic container for storage in the refrigerator and no longer has the original packaging, a spokeswoman for P&G said.

Morris is sending the animal to P&G for investigation.

"We believe that this is an isolated incident," P&G spokeswoman Susanne Dusing told Reuters.

P&G, which makes Folgers and Millstone coffees, said it was not aware of any other such incidents.

According to the AP report, Morris, of Ainsworth, Iowa, said she does not plan to sue Folgers.

The report comes months after Wendy's International Inc. saw its sales suffer after a woman claimed she had found a piece of human finger in a bowl of the burger chain's chili. The woman and her husband were later arrested and pleaded guilty to charges that they planted the finger in the chili to obtain compensation from Wendy's.

Lets see how long the not planning to sue lasts.

She sent it to them? Goodbye lawsuit.

I saw this story on Fox today. I believe the lady. I doubt she'd do it for attention, especially since she's not suing. Apparently the coffee was packaged in New Orleans, after Katrina.

It would take some imagination to put a turtle in ground coffee. My vote is that it was really in there. Now the bigger question is...HOW did it get in there? Most likely after the grinding process?

I read a story on this. She said she wasn't going to sue, so, ya. It also said she put the turtle in her freezer. :Q

Yes, it is. All Folgers and Millstone coffees are roasted, ground, packaged and distributed in NO. My friend was a major player in restoring the plants back up to operating capacity. I'll have to see what his take on this is...they had dug a well and used their brand new water purification system to purify the well water since the city water was out (I think it still is out in Eastern NO). Perhaps the turtle got in somewhere along that process...hell, they took on a bunch of water, it could've been anywhere. My friend said when he could finally drive to the plant he saw animals he never even knew existed in Louisiana on the highway.

Perhaps the turtle got in during that process.

This story is pretty funny. I mean, come on... a friggen turtle in a can of ground up coffee? You just can't make that stuff up.

The P&G plants are located pretty much in the marsh...lots of turtles out there.
