Outraged students have taken to social media to complain about moldy and under-cooked food shared alongside pictures of stomach-churning meals allegedly served by a Maryland school district.
Students at Prince George’s County Public Schools posted images of half-pink meat patties, sandwiches that had buns containing mold, expired drinks and hollowed out chicken nuggets on Twitter.
But the students said the horrid images of the food items are nothing new to their lunch trays, according to FOX 5.

Students at Prince George’s County Public Schools posted images of at times unrecognizable food items they said were served to them during lunch.
One high school student posted to Twitter a nauseating image of a cheesy bread surrounding a mashed-up paste (above) – it was supposed to be Rojo Fiesta Pizza
‘Criminals are getting better food than we are,’ Tamera Perry, a senior student at Friendly High School in Fort Washington, told FOX 5.
‘You’re giving us something that’s not healthy, that can possible cause us to die and it’s just unacceptable.’
On Friday, she had shared a picture of a cheesy bread texture surrounding a mashed up, paste-like filling colored pink inside – it was supposed to be ‘Rojo Fiesta Pizza’.
Another student on Twitter wrote sharing her frustrations over the state of the food.
‘Think about the Elementary school kids who ate this pizza without a thought because they assume the food given to them is safe,’ the student wrote.
She also said that the school district raised the price of lunches to three dollars.
According to the district’s website, the monthly 2015-2016 cost for full-price lunch for elementary students is $55, weekly it is $13.75 and daily it is $2.75.
For high school students the monthly cost for a full-price lunch is $60, weekly it is $15 and daily it is $3.
 
‘They raised our lunches to $3,’ said Perry. ‘We’re paying $3 for something that’s not edible, not organic and it’s not healthy.
‘It seems like that’s healthier than getting a school lunch.
‘For some of the population of students, that’s their only lunch, so you’re putting them in a sticky situation where they can either continue to starve or they eat it because that’s the only thing they have to eat.’
