Rosemary Thomas, a mother from New York, was with her sister, daughter and niece when she found the revolting dead head. The family had been out at a Popeyes branch in Harlem, on W 145th St, when they noticed the distinct shape of a rodent’s face – complete with nose and eyes – in her meal.
‘Friends and family, this is a meal Popeyes in Harlem served my daughter, my niece and sister,’ she wrote on Facebook.
‘This is clearly a rat and they have the nerve to have a 5 rating by the department of health.
She later added that her daughter was ‘traumatised’: ‘I had to take her to urgent care last night, vomited with diarrhoea all day.’
Commenting on her post, people said it was ‘disgusting’ and ‘terrible’. One person wrote that this kind of thing was ‘why I no longer eat chicken or meat. Gradually weaning off fish too’.
