SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- A diner at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said Wednesday.

"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

Local officials launched an investigation after the incident Tuesday night and the medical examiner determined Wednesday that the object was a human finger.

Officials are trying to determine whether the finger came in the raw materials Wendy's used to prepare the chili, Gale said.

Wendy's International Inc. corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment. Wendy's is the third-largest hamburger chain.

 

 

cross that place off my list

 

yeah foreal. i guess the chilli really is extra "meaty"

*slaps knee*

 

Awesome, I live in San Jose. Good to see Wendy's puttin' San Jose on the map!

 

There is something wrong with this, I can't put my finger on it?

 

That is so disgusting. I think I'm going to vomit.

 

Finger lickin' good

so bad, i know...couldn't resist.

 

Why is that the major food stories follow me?

I move to San Jose, and there's a finger in the chili at Wendy's.

I live a 1/4 mile away from the Sizzler in WA that started the OLD E.Coli scare

I lived in Fremont, CA when there was finger found in the taco meat at a Jack In The Box.

WTF?!?!?!?

(BTW, yes, I have all my fingers).
