I bought a bag of Fritos corn chip scoops spicy jalapeno through instacart from Mariano's on South Clark Street in Chicago. About an hour or so I felt full and there was discomfort in my stomach. Moments later diarrhea. Very weird! It's like it was a laxative or food poisoning. Not good at all.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

I bought a large cream of chicken and wild rice soup from Mariano's in Oak Lawn Il (I purchase regularly) and as I was eating the soup, I tasted something hard. I pulled out a piece of clear plastic that I almost swallowed. This is not acceptable. … See More
I saved the piece and don't know what to do. I don't want BS from the store and I shop every weekend there.
I received a refund for the soup when I talked to a manager.
