Incidents of insects being found in food items at various cafes, food courts, and restaurants in Ahmedabad have become common. A recent case occurred at a cafe on Rajpath-Rangoli Road on SG Highway, where an insect was found in a burger. A customer, after eating part of the burger, noticed a small black object, which turned out to be an insect. A video of the insect in the burger was also circulated on social media. Upon receiving information, the AMC’s food department team promptly sent a team to investigate.
“I Showed the Insect to the Cafe Owner” Almas Pathan, a young man working at Spine Hospital, stated that he had ordered four aloo burger patties from the corporate cafe on Rajpath-Rangoli Road. In one of the patties, he noticed something resembling an insect. Upon further inspection, he found an insect inside. He then went to the cafe owner to show the insect.
The cafe owner said that the person who made the burger patty would be dismissed and that Pathan could take any further action he deemed necessary.
