A slimy shock awaited Manminber Singh when he bit into a Burger King chicken burger and found a slug inside.

The 37-year-old claimed the creature was lurking inside his meal, with his find prompting health officials to review hygiene at the fast food takeaway, in Darlington, Co. Durham.

The slug arrived in a bag of pre-washed salad, said officials.

‘I was really shocked as I really love this burger and never had anything like this happen before,’ said Mr Singh, of Thornaby, Teesside.


‘The staff did not seem bothered and the manager just wanted to give me my money back.



‘She said it was a problem with the chiller but I think it is because the place is not properly clean.

‘I want health and safety people to come and lock them down.’

Burger King apologised for the incident and said they would conduct a full investigation into what had happened.
