If food contains a foreign substance that harms the person eating the food, there may be a claim against the provider and supplier of the food. However, as with any other negligence or products liability claim, there must be damage associated with the foreign object. Merely being "upset" will not likely result in any significant offer to resolve the claim, other than, perhaps, some coupons. If a person has suffered some actual physical harm, however, a more substantial claim can be brought.
