A KFC diner claims he was left ‘traumatised’ after finding a ‘child’s tooth’ inside his chips.
Kush Wilson had just taken a bite into his dinner when he felt “something crunch in his mouth”.
The 49-year-old “immediately spat it out and soon realised it looked like a tooth”, the media reported.
Kush, who was with his son Zakke, 25, and nephew, Kristian, was eating out at the KFC in Church Street, Croydon, on Saturday evening.
KFC denied it was a tooth and offered Kush a full refund.
Nephew Kristian, 31, said: “My uncle was eating his chips when we heard the crunch.
“It was absolutely disgusting. It looked deep-fried, like it had been cooked inside the chip.
“My uncle is traumatised by it.”
He added: “It wasn’t even an adult’s tooth. I’ve got a five-year-old and it’s a about the same size as his teeth.”
KFC denied it was a tooth and offered Kush a full refund. A KFC spokesperson said: “We take food safety very seriously, so were shocked to hear about this. It’s extremely unlikely that this object is a tooth, but as the customer has kept it, we’ve not been able to test it yet.
“We immediately offered Kush a full refund and replacement meals to say sorry for his experience. We’d like to reassure KFC fans that this hasn’t happened before at this restaurant, which has the highest possible 5 out of 5 rating.”
