US Couple Charged With Tampering With Jell-O Pudding Posted by Staff on Mar 29th, 2010

Alexander and Christine Clement, husband and wife from Suffolk County, are looking at being charged with the tampering of Jell-O pudding mix packages. Suffolk County arrested the couple on Sunday only after reports were being made from customers who purchased the Jell-O and discovered after opening them that there was some sort of fine substance, like sand inside.

Authorities state that Christine has been buying the Jell-O boxes from four different Long Island stores where three have already reported food tampering with the Jell-O. Christine has been removing the contents inside the Jell-O boxes, filling the boxes back up with other items and then returning them back to the stores for refunds. Authorities did say that the packages seemed to be opened, emptied out and then refilled with salt and sand. This was not noticed when the boxes were being returned.
