Don't Eat the Chili!

:smiley11: SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A diner at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said on Wednesday.


"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."


Local officials launched an investigation after the incident on Tuesday night and the medical examiner determined on Wednesday that the object was a human finger.


Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw materials Wendy's used to prepare the chili, Gale said.


Wendy's International Inc. corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment. Wendy's is the third-largest hamburger chain
