Being a popular chain of fast-food restaurants doesn’t always mean that it will be in the news for good reason. In fact, over the past few months KFC has had several complaints and unsatisfied customers. Even the KFC business in China is not doing as well as it used over the past years.
But for now, a strange new controversy had taken shape for the restaurant. Apparently, the restaurant has recently accidentally served a customer deep-fried rat. An unwary diner named Devorise Dixon who lives in California, went to a KFC restaurant in Wilmington.
To his surprise, Dixon saw that instead of chicken, the restaurant served him deep-fried rat. Dixon tried to receive an explanation from the restaurant, the woman behind the counter said to have admitted that it was a rat.
The restaurant tried to make amends by replacing the order but would that really be enough to ameliorate the situation? An official from KFC contradicted the man’s statement by saying, “Following an immediate investigation, no evidence was found to support this claim.”
Photographs and a short video clip of the meal that is clearly a rat is flanked all over the internet.
