KFC Allegedly Served Lung With Fried Chicken

A man, who had ordered a fried chicken breast at KFC some time back, was aghast on being served a nauseating lump. Nevertheless, Mark Nicholas began chewing his food which he believed was a piece of fried chicken breast. However, he soon began to feel sick as he found it to be disgusting and nauseating.

Nicholas, 30, said that he had ordered for the three-piece box from KFC a branch in Labrador, Queensland, Australia, reports Metro UK quoting MailOnline. He told the publications, "I pulled a piece off, then found that and spat the rest out. You don't expect to have that type of crap in your food when you go to KFC."

When the outraged customer took up the matter with KFC, the multinational food chain was apparently cool and shrugged off the incident saying that the perhaps the lump was a part of offal - a kidney or lung, which the chefs ought to have discarded before preparing the dish.

Clarifying the issue, a KFC spokesman from the company's Austrian division said that they usually get rid of offal, but sometimes they are left behind. "Most of the time offal is removed in the preparation process, but occasionally it may remain," the spokesman stated.

Incidentally, this was not the first such incidence at KFC, as earlier another patron from Wilmington, Calif., had alleged that the local KFC outlet had served him a deep fried rat when he had ordered for a boneless chicken breast.

In fact, the patron, Devorise Dixon posted a picture as well as a video of the alleged fried rat on Facebook, but it was not ascertained whether the food served to him was really a deep fried rat. Though the product was shaped like a rat, it may also have been a fried boneless chicken breast, Food Beast reported.

On their part, KFC said though they have taken Dixon's complaint seriously, the problem was that he did not allow anyone from the company to see the product.
