KFC South Africa has responded to reports of an alleged deep fried rat that a customer claimed to have found in his meal, bought from a California USA branch.
The KFC team in America have been trying to get ahold of the customer, but " he is refusing to talk to them directly or through an attorney" according to KFC South Africa's media release.
"They have requested the product be sent to them so that an independent lab can evaluate the product at their own expense, however, the customer refuses to provide it," KFC said.
The fast food chain says that a closer look at the alleged rat reveals what appears to be white chicken meat, not rodent.
"Based on this, and the fact that he refuses to allow anyone to see the product, KFC US is left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and we are considering all options," KFC said.
