"Foot" found in bag of frozen chicken is actually a biscuit
<snip>

Unless the Pillsbury Doughboy had a terrible accident, an apparent "foot" found in a bag of frozen chicken is merely a biscuit.
"It was consistent with dough," said Dr. John Butts, chief medical examiner. "Once we X-rayed it, we could certainly see that it wasn't human material."

The medical examination of the deep-fried faux extremity came one day after a Durham family opened a box of frozen chicken and discovered that it contained more than wings, breasts and thighs.

Police think the chunk of deep-fried dough was intentionally shaped to resemble a foot.

"It was the size of what you expect an infant's foot to be," said Cpl. J.C. Shelton, who responded to the scene. "It appeared to have markings such as toes and toenails." Shelton said he didn't know how much the sculpted dough weighed, because he had declined to touch it.

The family acquired the unusual prize from a Lowes Foods in East Durham, a news release said. Police think the package was tampered with before it arrived at the store. Investigators refused to release the brand of chicken but said the food was not butchered or packaged locally.
