A woman in Fort Myers said she found part of an iguana in her 14-ounce jar of pizza sauce .

"It was definitely an appendage," the woman said to News-Press. "It was rubbery and fleshy."

Suzanne Abercrombie bought Mantia's pizza sauce in November, and said after she consumed it with pizza she fell ill, according to News-Press

At first she did not associate her illness with the sauce, but when she made another pizza an unusual object came out of the jar.

"When I used the rest of the jar, that's when it fell out," Abercrombie said to News-Press. "It was about three-and-a-half inches long and looked like an arm."

A consumer affairs specialist for the company that produces the sauce told Naples Daily News that the “reptile appendage” was not an iguana arm--just mold. The specialist also said the jars are doubled-checked at the plant, “but sometimes things happen after they are shipped,” News-Press reports.

Abercrombie wrote a letter to the company about the incident and they responded stating the substance "did not come from any Reptile, Amphibian, and or small Mammal. It is moldy tomato sauce,” News-Press reports.
