Damn. Kfc is my favourite outlet.. so this obviously blows it.
But...
1) How many of you would actually know whom to contact if such a situation arises at any restaurant ?
2) How many of you would let them take away the dish ?

1. No idea. Surely would like to have some phone numbers for such cases.
2. This has happened in my own company cafeteria. The guys apologized and said take today's food for free. I was like WTF!!! you talking.
Complained to the facilities department, he was in cahoots with the vendor. Then had to complain to HR, who took it in their hands. Removed the vendor and now we can actively give our feedback. I still doubt if they even look at what we give as feedback though.
Another case happened with a friend who went to subway. He had some veg sub, the one which has sauce and vegetables mixed (forgot the name). It had a worm inside it. He let it go when they offered new chicken dish for free.
Problem is we are so uninformed as customers.

KFC's zinger sandwich is great though, I dont like anything else there.
McChicken/McVeggie are also okay.

WTF!! The moron doesn't get it. As if it would be OK if the worms were dead when chicken was fried. How can they use chicken that was 4-5 months old stock?
The shawarma case sparked state-wide raids across all the major restaurants and food joints. Some of the hotels were shut down by the officials in mufti, citing poor hygienic conditions concerning storage of food and raw materials, cooking utensils not being washed properly etc. Most shawarma and fast-food joints were shut down for a couple of months until the issue stabilized.
But the good part is almost all the hotels in Kerala nowadays have good hygiene overall – the wash basins and wash rooms are sparkling clean, the kitchens are a lot more cleaner than it used to be before with proper storage of raw materials and meat, cooking utensils are frequently washed.
But finding worms on the fried chicken is on a different scale altogether!

Ohh crap, now this makes me worried. Glad that family got to know about this. I will think twice before going to fast food chains :-O
for the worms to be alive, probably they didn't roast or fry it in hot enough oil for long time. must have taken it from a broken fridge which might not be cooling properly (because worms cannot live in cold places) and then put it directly in fryer.
i had a taste of kfc fried chicken long time back and it was like yuk. it was cooked too much, and was tasteless, and hardly any masala or anything in it. and people who had bought it were saying its so good and yummy. i wondered if they said that because they spent a lot on it and did not want to feel cheated.
if this incident happened in usa, all kfc outlets would be under the scanner, and the family would be getting around a million dollars in compensation. nothing like that here i guess.
Edit:
1 - dont know whom to contact. such numbers are not advertised anywhere. the govt is not proactive.
2 - i'd take a pic or two of the offending food from my mobile or video record it for evidence. cant fight if 2-3 waiters come at you at same time.

Some unintended human errors can be pardoned in some circumstances. but worm in chicken, and knowing that its 5 months old - its too much.
Well, I kinda like the KFC chicken - but now it seems I might have to look for alternatives.
Those roadside roll, tandoori are tasty, but not really hygienic.
And I thought these KFC, McD were maintaining some standard in hygiene.

I don`t get the problem, chickens eat worms, so whether or not you actually find wiggling ones in your dish, you are infact eating worms.
Well they also use shit (animal shit, earthworm shit and what not) and other animal matter as fertilizer for plants and crops grow from it, does that mean that anybody who eats plant food has no problem eating shit?
On another note, do you guys know that the chicken nuggets and similar stuff sold by fast food joints like KFC is made up of meat extracted from parts like the head, digits on their legs and internal parts that are usually discarded.

Oh god, please stop, this thread is getting too gross for reality, and my beloved food item is now getting repulsive.
But, honestly the compliance to standards is extremely poor in our country, and the watchdogs have to get their act together.
