Diner Tucks Into A KFC And Finds A Fried Surprise That’ll Turn Your Stomach

Picture the scene. You’re sat down with your KFC bucket and just about to tuck into some of Colonel Sander’s finest fried chicken.

With added relish you take that first big bite of your much anticipated chicken dinner, only to discover in abject shock that you’re actually chewing down on something quite rank and deeply nauseating.

Deep fried kitchen roll, to be precise. That’s what was unexpectedly on the menu when 29-year-old British woman Krystal Henderson treated her step-son Oliver Hallam to a KFC meal

It’s the sort of unpleasant surprise that would churn the stomach of the most hardened fast-food fanatic. Let alone a seven-year-old boy.

When young Oliver visited the Killingworth branch of KFC on Tyne and Wear, he bit into one of his four boneless pieces of chicken and found a greasy piece of blue hand roll, it left somewhat of a disturbing taste in his mouth.

The Daily Mail reported that nursery nurse Krystal Henderson said:

“I got a shock. I thought the actual chicken had gone off. All it was inside was deep fried blue roll.

“Realizing it was blue roll was worse than chicken. If it was bad chicken they might have just had a bad batch or something, but the blue roll could have been used for anything – it could have bleach or disinfectant on it. I didn’t know where the blue roll had been because it was screwed up. Had someone wiped their hands on it, had it been used to wipe the floor?

“To give that to a child, I felt so guilty even though it wasn’t my fault. For a child to bite into that is horrendous. When he bit into it, it was rock hard. He pulled it out of his mouth and when he did, it pulled away the batter – you could see the blue roll inside.”

Realizing what had happened, Krystal returned to the KFC in question to express her outrage, but somewhat outrageously, they simply told the upset mother who was in tears to ring customer support.

Krystal explained:

“I went back into the store crying and they said I had to call customer service. I had to keep ringing them and keep following it up. It felt like I had to do all the work when it was their mistake.

“I work full time and I’m a mother. I just don’t have the time the time to keep chasing them up and ringing around. After what has happened, I shouldn’t have to.”

Following an investigation, KFC apologized and sent Krystal a letter which reads:

“The blue tissue has most likely originated from a tissue roll used for KFC hygiene purposes. The store assume it must have fallen unseen into the breading lug that is under the sieve and was not noticed by the cook.

“We have retrained staff on our stringent food preparation procedures at this store to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

Alongside an apology, KFC offered Krystal and Oliver a free meal but she insists the the incident has put her and Oliver off KFC for life.

Krystal said:

“Oliver is only seven but he knows exactly what was going on and he doesn’t want to go to KFC again. He didn’t eat anything for the rest of the week. He completely lost his appetite. He wasn’t unwell or grumpy, he just lost his appetite.”

Thanks to Colonel Sanders and KFC, this Oliver is definitely one who won’t be asking: “Please sir. Can I have some more?” anytime soon.
