A lady in the Philippines was shocked to get a fried towel alternatively of the chicken she had ordered from a preferred rapidly meals chain in the nation. Alique Perez mentioned she was disgusted right after discovering that her deep-fried ‘chicken’ from Jollibee was really just a hand towel.
Ms Perez shared photos and a video of her inedible meal on Facebook, exactly where they have gone viral. She mentioned she had ordered the ‘Chickenjoy’ meal for her son from a Jollibee outlet in Metro Manila, but upon getting the meals, she located the chicken as well challenging to slice.
“We had Jollibee delivered via grab. Ordered chicken for my son, while I was trying to get him a bite, I found it super hard to even slice. Tried opening it up with my hands and to my surprise [it was] a deep fried towel,” she wrote on Facebook. “This is really disturbing… How the hell do you get the towel in the batter and even fry it?” she questioned, adding that the discovery was a disgusting one.
A video that she shared on the social media platform on Tuesday has gone viral with more than 2.6 million views. It shows her choosing up the ‘chicken’ – only to learn it was batter-fried towel.
Her post has racked up more than 87,000 ‘shares’ and thousands of shocked comments.
“The batter must have been contaminated too when that towel was breaded. We will never know who got those potentially contaminated chickenjoys that day!” wrote one commenter. “That’s disgusting. Good luck to those who ordered chicken that day,” mentioned yet another.
According to Metro News, Jollibee Foods Corp mentioned the branch had ‘deviated’ from typical meals preparation process and temporarily shut down the restaurant right after the viral post raised well being and hygiene issues.
The business mentioned that it would retrain staff to make certain that such incidents are not repeated.
