A shocking discovery of glass fragments in a dish of spaghetti at a popular pizza chain led to a consumer’s injury, sparking safety concerns. The incident, which occurred yesterday, November 28, has raised alarm among consumers and prompted discussions about food safety.

 

A member of a consumer group shared their alarming experience online after unknowingly chewing on glass pieces in their meal. Initially mistaken for crispy bacon, the sharp fragments caused cuts to the mouth and hand upon removal. Unfortunately, some glass was swallowed, leading to fears of potential internal injuries.

 

The victim recounted their ordeal, stating that they found the glass in spaghetti from a well-known pizza restaurant chain, commonly found in shopping malls. The size of the glass was described as being similar to a grain of rice. Despite the unpleasant incident, the individual expressed no intention to escalate the matter further, though they emphasised the need for improved hygiene and stricter measures against foreign objects in food to prevent future risks.

 

“This is very dangerous if it causes internal injuries.”

 

 

The restaurant has taken responsibility by waiving the cost of the meal and committing to covering any medical expenses if required. This response aims to reassure the affected customer and others who might be concerned about the safety of dining at this establishment, reported KhaoSod.

 

Occurrences of foreign objects in food, though rare, can have severe implications for both consumers and businesses. They can cause physical harm and damage a brand’s reputation, leading to a loss of consumer trust. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and thorough quality control in food preparation and service.

 

Food safety experts often advise consumers to be cautious and report any irregularities to ensure that corrective actions are taken promptly. Meanwhile, restaurants and food service providers are encouraged to implement rigorous checks to prevent such instances.

Does "Pizza The Hut" serve chicken?   Can asking a general question be considered as defamation in the Land of Smiles?

When Jack In The Box in the US had an E Coli outbreak the entire country knew in a matter of days.  This may have saved lives.  I have never swallowed glass while eating and I would never want to.  This almost makes it seem like "eat out at your own risk? 

This is Thailand...

Sounds like the source was industrial manufacturing in nature. I would expect that glass broken on site (restaurant) would be in larger pieces.

I am guessing the the customer cannot name the Company but they serve Pizza...….🍕😆

 

I am not defending the Pizza chain but I work in the food service industry and accidents do happen, I am sure this was not intentional and as mentioned the restaurant will take care of medical cost if required. 

Almost 50 years ago, I got a hamburger at a mom-and-pop store that had glass in the minced onions. I brought it back, they thanked me and threw out the onions. They had no idea how the glass got in the onions. To me it looked like pieces of a broken light bulb.

Make your own food at home (you have a Wife) and you and the rest of the family can feel safe, Why rely on third-party chefs?

 

Do you never eat out in restaurants?

If you cant see the difference between an E coli outbreak and a piece of glass and food you need to teach yourself about basic health knowledge.

No. Idon't want to get injured on glass eating a meal that'll cost you 3-4 times the worth of the food.
