Mumbai Woman Finds Dead Insect in burger King Order, Vents Disappointment Online:

Food nowadays comes with its own risks, but when it comes to popular brands, all customers expect is that they maintain the quality and safety standards often questioned with street food vendors. However, a woman was naturally disappointed after finding a dead insect in her order—not from a local joint, but from burger King.

Taking to Instagram, the woman behind the page ‘chikatalks’ made a reel showing a close-up view of the dead insect inside her burger. “I feel like vomiting right now, but I wanted to report this issue,” she said from behind the camera, expressing her disgust. She then appeared in front of the camera, exclaiming, “If brands like burger King are going to do this, I don’t know where to eat anymore.”


Her caption further detailed, “This store was located in mumbai and my double party veggie burger had a dead insect inside it. This raises safety issues for all of us and also our reliability on huge brands which cannot take care of their franchise’s , I demand an apology for the risk to my health and safety, I had consumed half the burger.”The reel quickly went viral, sparking public outrage. “Never expected this from you @burgerkingindia,” commented one user. “Case kar. Lawsuit file kar. 50L maang loo. Life pe risk tha bol de, get a lawyer. Sue them,” suggested another.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time a big brand has disappointed a customer. On July 10, 2014, sandeep Saxena from east Delhi had a similar experience at a McDonald’s in Noida’s GIP Mall. He bit into a McAloo Tikki burger only to find an insect inside. Saxena became ill, vomiting repeatedly, and immediately complained to the manager that Saxena contacted the police and the district magistrate’s office, leading to the burger being tested and declared ‘unsafe’ by the Food Safety and Medicine Administration.


The district forum later ordered McDonald’s to compensate Saxena: Rs. 895 for his treatment, Rs. 50,000 for the mental agony, and Rs. 20,000 for litigation costs.
