- A Noida woman discovered a dead
centipede in her vanilla ice-cream tub on Saturday. - She had ordered the
Amul ice-cream fromBlinkit to make mango shake for her son. - The tub's packaging date is April 15, 2024 and expiry date is April 15, 2025.
- Deepa Devi, who lives in Sector 12, said she had ordered the Rs 195-ice cream online and found a black frozen substance in it.
- “After it defrosted, I realised it was a dead centipede. Just imagine what would have happened if we had consumed it without checking,” she told TOI.
- She said she recorded a video of the ice-cream tub with the centipede and shared it on social media platforms to raise an alarm.
- Blinkit refunded the money after Deepa submitted a complaint on their app.
- Customer care officials also told her they had written to Amul.
- “Amul has reached out to me and said their officials will visit my house on Sunday morning. Blinkit has apologised and refunded the cost of the
ice cream tub,” she said.
- Though Deepa hasn't filed a complaint as yet, food safety department officials reached out to her, taking cognisance of her social media post.
- Noida food safety officer Akshay Goyal said a case has been registered against the ice-cream brand, the e-commerce app and the store manager from where the product was ordered.
- “We are investigating the matter. We have registered a case under the Food Safety Standard Act, 2006. We will also collect samples of the same ice-cream batch from the Blinkit store and send them for lab tests. Depending on the results, further legal action will be taken,” he said.
- On June 13, Brendan Ferrao, a 26-year-old Malad-based doctor, found a portion of a human finger with a fingernail on it in a
Yummo ice cream he had ordered through the Zepto app. - The FSSAI then inspected Fortune Dairy Industries in Pune, which was the third-party manufacturer of the ice-cream.
- They have since stopped the facility’s operations, reported the Indian Express.
