Recently, a vlogger shared a clip on Instagram in which she found a dead worm in a burger from a famous food chain. In the now-viral video, she said, “I found a dead worm in my order from Burger King today. And it made me feel like vomiting right now, but I wanted to report the issue. Burger King, this is not acceptable”. The camera moves on to show other burgers ordered from the food chain. The vlogger held up the burger to the camera to show the worm inside. She said, “Even brands like Burger King are going to do this, then I don’t know where I eat anymore.”

In the caption, she revealed, “This store was located in Mumbai and my double patty veggie burger had a dead insect inside it. This raises a safety issue for all of us as well as our credibility over big brands who may not take care of their franchisees, I apologize for the risk to my health and safety, I had eaten half the burger.”

In the same thread, an Instagram user claimed that she had to be hospitalised after eating food from Burger King. Tagging the brand’s official handle, she wrote, “I got food poisoning after eating your burger 3 days ago at Kirti Nagar Metro Station outlet. Please check your outlet. After this I am in hospital. I suggest everyone boycott Burger King.” Burger King India responded to this comment, saying, “Hi Bhavana, this doesn’t sound right. Please share your contact number, store location and order ID via DM/inbox so we can investigate.”
