I found this thing in my food. It was just stuck to a piece of meat; it wasn't lodged into it or anything. Anyone know what it is?

cattle/pig microchip for meat traceability, i'd say. http://www.agriexpo.online/prod/i-d-ology/product-173571-52418.html

These really aren't supposed to get into food. If you're at a restaurant, I'd complain to the manager. If you bought the meat and cooked it yourself, I'd contact the purveyor.

Get it scanned and find out where the animal came from

Where would this normally be installed on an animal?
