KFC has been forced to apologise after a customer was handed a pot of gravy with a label that read: 'F*** off'.

An image of the offending gravy pot was shared on Facebook by the customer after their visit on Saturday to the Hollywood Park KFC in Barrow, Cumbria.

Her comment, which has since been removed, said: “Just been through KFC drive through in barrow in furness and find THIS printed on the gravy!

"Absolutely appalling behaviour! If this is what they give to customers god knows what else they are doing!!!!! I will be writing one of my famous letters over this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

On the label, it said: "Gravy Prep 3/10/15 f*** off 3.31pm MUST USE BY 3/10/15 9.31pm".

Since the image emerged, the fast food giant has issued an apology to the unnamed customer.

A KFC spokesperson said: "We are very sorry for the customer's experience and have offered a gesture of good will as an apology.

"We are currently investigating and have reminded staff that behaviour like this is unacceptable."
