I found a flash drive in a regular sausage: at first I thought the flash drive had accidentally ended up in the food until I checked its contents.

4. Keep the flash drive itself safe and untouched.

Finding an electronic device inside food could indicate:

• A contamination or tampering incident

• A smuggling attempt

• Someone hiding data

• Sabotage or a prank

• Something related to theft, blackmail, or worse

Because you found it inside a commercially packaged food item, you should strongly consider reporting this to the store or local authorities — not because you’re in trouble, but because the situation may involve consumer safety or criminal activity.
