Box Cutter Found in ShopRite Breadcrumbs, Woman Claims

No one injured in bizarre incident, report says.

One Montclair woman got a sharp surprise last month when she says she found a box cutter in a can of breadcrumbs from a Bloomfield grocery store.

Amirah Toler-Stoute initially mistook the knife for a scoop, but soon discovered what was really packaged in the Italian-style breadcrumbs, according to a report on northjersey.com.

No one was hurt by the box cutter, Toler-Stoute said, and the woman reported the incident to the ShopRite in Bloomfield where the item was purchased.
