Hi,
Last Wednesday, I purchased some chicken form my local fast food store which I soon found was infested with maggots after I had already consumed the majority of the meat. I then saw them crawling all over the bone. I have a video footage and three law enforcement colleague witnesses.
I have been communicating with the area manager via email and he states that he's conducted an investigation into store food safety policies, procedures and food temperatures etc and has concluded that the infestation could not have occurred in the store.
I disagree, because the food was consumed within 15 minutes of purchase and fly larvae take 24 hours to hatch into maggots.
I've also contacted my local council's environmental health department.
What kind of recourse can one take with this kind of issue? Considering the food was taken off site, can these fast food outlets wipe their hands of it with their supposed correct data and that's it?
Any info from someone who has experienced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
