Customers Find Insects
Found Served At Taco Bell And Pizza Hut
Eating out a fast food restaurants may be
risky as fast foot operators are being
accused of adding, not intentionally, an
ingredient that is not very palatable to
their customers: insects.
The ministerio de Salud confirmed Thursday
that it is investigating two fast food
restaurant chains that have been the source
of at least six complaints in the last 22
days.
The ministra de Salud, María Luisa Ávila,
said that four restaurants operated by Taco
Bell and two by Pizza Hut are the focus of
their investigations, where customers have
reported to find insects - slugs, worms and
cockroaches in their food.
Avila explained that they have asked the
managers of each of the restaurants in
question to carry out a complete inspection
of their food handling process and products
sold.
Leslie Rencio, operations director of Pizza
Hut, said that a comprehensive assessment of
the restaurants has been conducted and that
are now waiting on the results of the
inspections of the ministerio de Salud.
The exact locations of the restaurants under
investigation was not made public by the
ministerio de Salud.
