KFC Served a Fried Rat to Customer-Unproven!
Summary of eRumor:
A KFC customer posted pictures online of what he said was a fried rat found in his food.
The Truth:
Claims about KFC serving a fried rat to a customer are unproven.
The controversy started when a customer posted pictures of an oddly shaped piece of fried chicken that resembled a breaded, fried rat on Facebook. The photos appeared with this caption:
“Don’t eat fast food!! I went to KFC yesterday and bought a 3piece chicken tender. As I bit into it I noticed that it was very hard and rubbery which made me look at it. As I looed down at it I noticed that it was in the shape of a rat with a tail. It sent deep chills throughout my whole body! I’ve been feeling weird ever since.”
KFC said the customer had refused to cooperate with them and, “We currently have no evidence to support this allegation.”
KFC also said that one of the pictures shows a bite taken out of the so-called fried rat, and it “clearly shows it’s a piece of hand breaded white meat chicken.”
Until the customer provides the “fried rat” to KFC for testing we won’t know if this one is truth or fiction.
