A rodent head allegedly found by a Utah woman in a can of green beans would be safe to eat, the company's spokesman said. But Marianne Watson, who said she found the head in the can bought from a Wal-Mart store, rejected a $100 settlement that Allen Canning offered her if she signed a liability release.

"There's no way that product could have hurt her," Allen Canning spokesman James Phillips said in a telephone interview. "This rodent was rendered commercially sterile. We cook each can individually at a temperature up to 265 degrees."

(I know this case wasn't about irradiation, but it reflects the "let them eat" shit attitude.)
