The
Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) said a “brain” found by a
California teenager in his meal was not a ‘brain’ but actually a gizzard
or a kidney, but the company agreed to refund the teen’s $4.
UPI has more:
Manuel Cobarubies, a Stockton High School student, said
he frequented his local KFC until early February, when he discovered the
unidentified chicken organ in his $4 meal. “[It
looked] like a brain to
me. I mean at that point, red flags were kind of raised,” Cobarubies
told KTXL-TV. “I ended up spitting it in the trash can because I get
grossed out by that.”
Cobarubies tweeted a picture
of the object and tagged KFC in the hopes of getting an explanation and
a refund, but all he received was a brief apology. KTXL-TV tweeted at
KFC and contacted the corporate office Monday, and hours later
Cobarubies received a call from Richard Ramos, a KFC area consultant.
Ramos said the object was not a brain, but rather a gizzard or a kidney
and is safe to eat.
The teenager said Ramos told him he will receive his $4 refund. The
consultant said cooks would be trained to ensure they are preparing the
chicken correctly, but Cobarubies said he is probably through with the
restaurant. “I’m probably just going to have to start packing my own
meals, making my own sandwiches,” he said.
