A woman was left surprised after biting into a Burger King nugget she thought was 100% vegan…
According to The Mirror, Lianna Hutchins placed an order for her family at the fast food restaurant on October 14.
But was sickened when she took a bite…
And realized it was not a vegan nugget but an actual chicken nugget.
This was because the smell and texture were different from what she expected.
She then said she contacted the restaurant, but claimed the manager was “dismissive.”
But she managed to get some sort of compensation.
Lianna received a refund covering the cost of the chicken nuggets, which was just £5 ($5.64), but not the rest of the items she couldn’t eat as she felt sick.
She told the Daily Echo: “When I ate it and realized, it made me feel sick. I was nearly in tears. I have health issues as well, so I don’t want to be putting meat in my body.”
“I chewed on the nugget and I thought to myself this doesn’t taste vegan.”
Lianna then said despite getting a partial refund, the Burger King branch did not take the incident seriously.
She added her family meal had been “ruined” because she was planning to spend time with her relatives but had to leave the room and go upstairs to talk to the head office on the phone.
And that’s not all…
She also claimed a similar incident happened to her mom and dad…
But that reportedly was in the 90s and they too received compensation for it.
A spokesperson for Burger King said the company apologizes for the incident and its impact on the customer.
And even added they will work to get things right…
The company said that it will work to ensure all necessary measures and staff training are put in place.
“After further investigation, Burger King® UK believes all the appropriate steps were taken, and there were no signs of cross-contamination.”
