Luzerne County, PA (NBC) — Questions and concerns are being raised by a family in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, after they say they found a cryptic note inside a sealed box of cereal.
And this is not the first time a "mystery note" has been found inside sealed food products.
“I opened up the box. I usually open it up and take the bag out and I opened the bag like this, so I poured it out in my bowl and out came this paper that was all folded up just like this,” said Joe Miller.
Joe Miller, from Sugarloaf Township, says he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He says he bought the box of Lucky Charms Smores cereal at a Luzerne County grocery store on New Year’s Eve and he opened it the next day.
“I was devastated. I mean I didn't even want to eat the cereal although I still have the box here. I’m probably not going to eat it. I don't know what's inside the cereal or was this note laced with anything.”
At this point in time, the name of the store where the cereal was purchased, or the contents of the note are not being released but reports indicate that the note contains a mash up of words and references to current events and conspiracy theories.
Miller says his big concern is that somehow a note made its way into a sealed food product.
“It just bothers me; it's the note that really bothers me. These notes are found inside food, kids’ food.”
According to other reports, similar notes have been found in other sealed food products across the Wilkes-Barre region.
Pennsylvania Congressman Matt Cartwright has been looking into the matter.
