Bones, plastic, metal found in chicken tenders served to NYC public school students: feds

Plastic, bones and metal were found in chicken tenders served to New York City public school students — jurors heard this week at the bribery trial of a former top Department of Education official.

Eric Goldstein — the former head of the department’s Office of School Support Services — is accused of taking bribes from the owners of a Texas-based meat supplier, Somma Foods, to turn a blind eye to the gross grub.

“Students and staff complained about the food because they found bones and plastic in the chicken tenders,” Brooklyn federal prosecutor Andrew Grubin said in court Wednesday.

“One person choked and had to be rescued.”

Somma owners Brian Twomey, Michael Turley and Blaine Iler — who are on trial alongside Goldstein — were hoping to “make millions of dollars by selling food to the DOE,” Grubin said in his opening remarks.

Obviously they didn't give them enough sauce with their tenders to help them swallow the metal and plastic.  *****rollingeyes*****
