A dead frog was allegedly found in a packet of potato wafers in Gujarat’s Jamnagar on Wednesday. The incident comes amid outrage over the recent incidents of a human finger and centipede found in ice cream order online.
Jasmin Patel, a resident of Pushkar Dham Society, claimed that his four-year-old niece bought the packet from a nearby shop on Tuesday evening. Patel’s niece and his nine-month-old daughter ate some wafers from the packet before they spotted the dead frog.
An official of the Jamnagar Municipal Corporation said that the samples of the production batch of the wafer packet will be collected as part of the probe.
“One Jasmin Patel informed us that a dead frog was found in a packet of Crunchex, manufactured by Balaji Wafers. We visited the shop from where it had been purchased last night. Preliminary probe suggested it was indeed a frog in a decomposed state,” food safety officer D B Parmar was quoted by Indian Express as saying.
“As directed by the municipal commissioner, we will collect samples of this batch of wafer packets to conduct an inquiry,” he added.
Earlier this week, students of a government engineering college in Bihar claimed to have found a snake in the food served at the mess.
According to a TOI report, students of a government engineering college in Bihar’s Banka discovered pieces of what appeared to be a snake in the meal served at the mess. As many as 11 students fell sick after consuming the food and were rushed to a hospital where they were treated for symptoms of nausea and vomiting. The students are now in a stable condition.
Following the incident, the college administration changed the food vendor and imposed a fine on the accused. Additionally, the administration made it mandatory for the principal and teachers to consume food with students every day.
