KFC Ran DNA Test on Alleged ‘Fried Rat’, Guess What They Found

After a customer had alleged being served “deep fried rat” at KFC, the fast-food joint has revealed the truth.

It was the photo that shocked fast food lovers around the world. The customer had posted the picture in his Instagram profile. 

The Internet recoiled in horror last week after pictures of a rat-shaped piece of chicken from KFC was posted by a man in California, who claimed that he was served “deep fried rat” instead of chicken. However, after getting hold of that alleged rodent, KFC ran a DNA test only to find out that it nothing more than a piece of chicken that just happened to be oddly shaped like a rat.

Devorise Dixon, a resident of Watts, California had on June 12 posted the following photo on his Instagram page.

These pictures posted by Dixon turned into a PR nightmare for fast food chain. Many thousands of consumers began to question the credibility of KFC’s products on their Facebook page.

According to a Hindustan Times report, Dixon had initially refrained from responding to KFC’s request to inspect the food item which he claimed to be a rat. However, on Friday his lawyer gave the product to an independent lab.

The fast food chain also released a statement regarding the findings on Sunday as reported by Hindustan Times.

Recently in the US, a customer questioned the quality of a KFC product which received considerable publicity given the sensational nature of his claim. The product has now been tested by a third-party independent lab, which confirmed it is definitely a piece of chicken, as we knew all along. The right thing for this customer to do is to apologize and cease making false claims about the KFC brand.
