Every once in a while, we see stories on the news about someone finding something really gross in their fast food: dead insects, used bandages, fingernails, and so on. A lot of these incidents stem from employee accidents, like when one Arby’s worker got her finger caught in a meat slicer — the finger eventually ended up in someone’s sandwich (via HuffPost).
However, some incidents can be traced back to supplier mistakes. For example, back in 2017, a couple of dead bats were found in packaged salads. While restaurant employees arguably should give products a quick glance-over for quality, it’s not always possible to do so during a rush. No one has time to inspect every piece of chicken, every burger patty, or every bun. So sometimes customers get a surprise — bad or really bad. At least most places are pretty good about offering a refund if your meal contains a little something extra, right?
Not everyone’s favorite piece of chicken

One customer at an Australian KFC got a bit more than he ordered. According to Insider, the customer received his chicken meal, only to discover that one of the pieces was actually a breaded chicken heart. Kind of gross, especially if you aren’t expecting it.
Although plenty of people enjoy eating chicken hearts – Healthline notes that chicken hearts are highly nutritious and a great source of protein — organ meat definitely isn’t for everyone. Even some celebrity chefs struggle with organ meat. Livers and hearts are still meat, but … well, they just aren’t quite the same. Fortunately for the KFC customer, his complaint earned him a full refund and a heartfelt apology (too soon?). KFC issued a public statement to assure customers the chain’s “chicken is hand-prepared and cooked fresh, but occasionally mistakes happen and organs are not removed when they should have been. We … are reminding our teams to take extra care.”
