Melbourne man finds something crawling in his KFC
A Melbourne man has found something disgusting crawling in his KFC, after buying a box of chicken from the fast food restaurant for a baby shower on Saturday.
The customer was disgusted when, after everyone had finished their meals at the party, one of the children noticed maggots crawling on his piece of chicken.
“It was the last piece of chicken,” the 34-year-old said.
“Everyone was disgusted because we'd all eaten from the same chicken. We were all worried too.”
The man is reportedly a frequent visitor to his local KFC, and said he hopes the company will do more to look into “maintaining quality” at their outlets.
KFC responded to the video in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.
“We are dismayed to see the footage but it's unlikely this situation happened in-store. KFC works closely with leading Australian forensic entomologists to understand flies to ensure our in-store cooking and food handling practices are robust so we can keep our food safe,” they said.
“Their latest studies show that flies only deposit eggs in food with temperatures between 10 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. We hold our raw chicken below these temperatures and our cooked chicken well above so again, it's unlikely this situation happened in-store. We are trying to make contact with the customer so that we can investigate further.”
One things for sure, maggots certainly weren’t in the Colonel’s original recipe. Have you ever had a disgusting encounter with fast food in Australia?
