Noida:
Deepa Devi wanted to make mango shake for her five-year-old son. But she got more than she bargained for when she opened a tub of Amul Vanilla Magic ice cream, ordered from Blinkit, intended to be used as part of the recipe. Instead of enjoying a delicious mango shake, her plans were foiled by an unwanted guest: a centipede.
The incident took place in Sector 12 of Noida in Uttar Pradesh. The tub of ice cream turned into a nightmare as soon as the lid was lifted. The sight of the many-legged intruder sent shivers down her spine, forcing her to capture the surreal experience. The video starts with Ms. Deepa showing the unused ice tray. She then opens the lid to which a frozen centipede is locked. The video has since gone viral on social media, raising questions about food safety standards.
Ms Deepa immediately filed a complaint with Blinkit, and the e-commerce platform refunded the Rs 195 cost of the ice cream. Blinkit also assured her that they have escalated the matter to Amul for further investigation.
This incident is not an isolated incident. Just two days ago, Mumbai's Dr Orlem Brandon Serrao experienced an even more horrifying surprise when he bit into his ice cream cone and discovered a human finger. The incident, which took place in Malad, left Dr. Serrao shocked.
“I ordered three ice cream cones via an app. One of them was butterscotch ice cream from the Yummo brand. After I ate half of it, I felt a solid piece in my mouth. I thought it could be a nut or a piece of chocolate and spit it out to check what it was,” said Dr. Serrao.
“I'm a doctor, so I know what body parts look like. When I examined it carefully, I saw the nails and fingerprint prints underneath. It looked like a thumb. I'm traumatized,” he added.
A case was filed against the ice cream company for adulterating food and endangering human life.
