A disturbing incident at Pizza Hut left one customer with more than extra toppings on her margherita pizza. Amber, 24, was horrified to discover a metal rod baked into her pizza, which she shared on Twitter, calling out the fast-food chain: “Hey umm @pizzahutuk, can you explain this?” The object, appearing like a hooked metal rod, was speculated by social media users and a former employee to be part of an oven’s conveyor belt mechanism that might have slipped into the pizza during cooking.
Key Points:
- Amber’s tweet sparked reactions, questioning the chain’s safety measures.
- Observers, including a former Pizza Hut worker, guessed it might be from the oven equipment.
- Amber reported that Pizza Hut offered only a replacement pizza, not a refund, adding to her frustration.
- Pizza Hut confirmed the issue is under investigation, describing it as an isolated incident and emphasizing customer safety.
This case raises ongoing questions about food safety standards, as it follows a similar recent UK incident in which a mother found a potentially dangerous item in her child’s friend’s food
