Supermarket meat aisles can throw up all sorts of terrifying surprises for the squeamish and one woman had potentially the biggest shock of all after she became convinced the meat she bought was a human penis.

The hilarious incident happened to Lania Singfield, from Akron, Ohio, back in 2020 and her search for 'the truth' made international news.

After refusing to believe the supermarket's assertation that it was a turkey tail, Lania said she 'wanted answers' and went to great lengths to prove her theory – even calling the police.

Lania claimed she had become suspicious about the phallic-looking meat she had purchased from a local supermarket.

The woman had started cooking the "would-be member" but took them off of the heat and immediately called the police.

Lania told the Akron Beacon-Journal: "It looked a lot more like a human penis than any other kind of meat.

"I hope it’s not a human, because then somebody is missing something that they need or somebody might be dead. I just want answers."

Summit County cops were called to Lania's imaginary crime scene and were so baffled by the shape of the meat that they took the suspected penis into custody.

From there, the officers handed it to the medical examiner for testing, who were able to confirm what the meat was.

The lab determined the meat was in fact, pork, not the suspected turkey, or a penis.

A semi-victorious Lania then lawyered up to speak to the Save A Lot store that sold her the meat on her behalf.

In a statement, Save A Lot said it had not had issues with the product before and said it has a commitment to holding the highest standards.

They said: "At Save A Lot we have a long-held commitment to the highest standards in quality control and work in partnership with our vendors to ensure those standards are upheld.

"Issues of quality receive the utmost priority and we take this matter very seriously. We can confirm that we have had no previous quality issues with this item and we have not been contacted by the customer in question or the local authorities regarding this incident.

"We will take the appropriate action at that time."
