Pregnant woman finds 'deadly' ingredient in her takeout order
- Replies 15
We can't really do much about it, but sometimes accidents happen, and inedible objects find their way into our food. More often than not, they appear just as we are about to eat our meals.
And no, folks, we're not talking about the toys that come with happy meals here, nor the engagement rings that are intentionally put in champagne glasses, desserts, and pastries.
What we're talking about here are those nasty things that you would never expect to find anywhere near food items, such as the rubber band one person pulled out of their Ben and Jerry's ice cream last year.
A few weeks ago, there was also a woman who found a whole flower stalk in her Macca's chicken sandwich right after she took a bite out of it. Yuck!
No one would blame these people for feeling queasy after finding these unusual objects in their meals.
But in this case, one woman found something in her Subway online order that was not only disgusting but extremely dangerous as well.

Nerice Moyse is a singer by profession, and because she is pregnant, she was experiencing some particularly intense food cravings. After considering all of her possible options online, she ultimately decided to get a tuna sub from Subway.
'I was with my partner, and we got hungry. I am currently pregnant and always getting cravings, so my partner went on his phone and ordered a Subway,' she said.
Nerice ordered a personalised sandwich online and had it sent to her partner's house. Everything seemed to be going well until she opened up her meal and saw something that shook her to the core.
There was a huge knife in her sandwich, and it was obvious that it came from the fast food chain – thanks to its sharp, serrated blade and recognisable yellow handle.
Although it is unclear how it ended up in the sandwich undetected, Nerice didn't let something dangerous like this slide and proceeded to contact the establishment.
The mum-to-be said: 'I understand everyone has an off day, but you have to be incredibly careful when you work in an environment like that.'

The fast speed and pressure that workers face at any fast food establishment can be understood, but it is never acceptable to leave a very sharp and highly dangerous knife stuck between a sandwich.
After calling their local Subway to report the missing knife, Nerice's partner was informed that they would hear back from the sandwich shop in a few days.
A knife in a sandwich is not something anyone wants to find, and Nerice added that she was somewhat 'glad' it was her instead of a kid or a teenager.
A spokesperson for Subway already addressed the issue and released a statement, saying: 'The health and safety of all guests are of paramount importance to us, and all Franchise Owners are expected to maintain high food safety standards and always serve products to guests' satisfaction.'
'Since the incident was brought to our attention, we have investigated this thoroughly, and the team apologised to the customer immediately once informed.'
'Since then, the franchisee has reached out to the customer again to resolve the issue.'
Nerice and her partner received their long-awaited apology ten days after the incident, and she said she's hoping she wouldn't find any more 'knives in her sandwiches' from now on.
What an awful surprise it must have been to open your sandwich and find a giant, sharp knife! Good thing she didn’t bite into it! Thankfully, Nerice found it before any serious harm could be done.
