VESTAL, N.Y. - Talk about gross. Someone took a piece of sheep's brain from an anatomy class at a Binghamton-area school and placed it in the salad dressing in the school cafeteria.

Police are investigating Wednesday's food-tampering incident at Vestal High School, where officials say a student found the piece of brain at the bottom of a container of dressing at the salad bar.

Students used some of the dressing before the material was discovered, but officials say there's no evidence anyone ate any of the preserved brain matter, and no one has reported getting sick.

Parents were sent a letter informing them about the incident.

Local health department officials say there wasn't enough preservative in the brain matter to cause health problems.
