The boy reported he found the mouse Wednesday at Lewis-Palmer Middle School in Monument, about 40 miles south of Denver. The principal and a vice principal interviewed his parents and other students who were sitting at the same lunch table and decided the incident didn�t appear to be a prank, said Donna Wood, a spokeswoman for the Lewis-Palmer School District.
Frito-Lay spokeswoman Aurora Gonzalez said Friday the Plano, Texas-based company expected to receive the bag of chips soon and will investigate to determine what action, if any, it will take.
�We take these things very seriously because we have stringent quality control in place,� Gonzalez said.
Wood said the school district has temporarily pulled all chips from its vending machines and lunch lines.
Frito-Lay is a unit of PepsiCo Inc.
