‘Dead mouse in veg’ fails to impress hungry family
Print Edition
A RESTAURANT that served up a dead mouse to a family of diners is under investigation by the Changning District government.
According to a customer surnamed Zhang, he and his family visited the South Memory restaurant at the Xijiao Bailian Shopping Mall on Saturday. As they were eating a vegetable dish they discovered the dead rodent in it, and immediately alerted the staff.
Zhang said he took a photograph of the mouse on his cellphone before a waiter took away the offending platter.
A diner at a nearby table vomited at the sight, he said.
Despite the restaurant manager appealing to Zhang not to report the incident to the authorities, the disgruntled diner called both police and the Changning government.
Zhou Xian from the Changning Market Administration Bureau said that officials have spoken to both Zhang and the restaurant boss, and an investigation is now under way.
“The restaurant admitted to the existence of the mouse in the dish and agreed it was a mistake,” Zhou said.
“We have launched an investigation and the restaurant will be punished if it is found to have violated food safety regulations,” he said.
