Mumbai: In a chilling incident, a woman from the Malad area of Mumbai made a shocking discovery when she found a piece of a human finger inside her ice cream cone ordered online. The incident has left the local community stunned and has prompted a police investigation.
The woman, identified as Brendan Serrao, a resident of Orlem in Malad, had ordered three butterscotch cone ice creams from Yummo Ice Cream through an online delivery app last Wednesday. Brendan’s sister, who was ordering groceries online, included the ice cream cones as a treat. Little did they know that this sweet indulgence would turn into a horrifying experience.
Brendan had already consumed more than half of her ice cream when she felt something unusual in the taste. Inspecting her cone, she was horrified to find a 2 cm long piece of a human finger embedded in the ice cream. Shocked and distressed, she immediately went to the Malad Police Station to report the incident.
Malad Police have confirmed the discovery of the human finger in the ice cream. They have registered a case against Yummo Ice Cream Company and have sent the ice cream for a detailed investigation. Additionally, the police have forwarded the severed finger to a forensic lab to determine its origin and how it ended up in the food product.
A senior officer from Malad Police stated that the production and packaging facility of Yummo Ice Cream will be thoroughly inspected to uncover any lapses in hygiene and safety protocols. The officer assured that the investigation would be rigorous to prevent such incidents in the future and to hold accountable those responsible for this alarming breach.
This disturbing incident has raised serious concerns about food safety standards and the monitoring processes of online food delivery services. Local residents and consumers are now demanding stricter regulations and oversight to ensure such shocking incidents are not repeated.
