\n

Food safety is one thing I take seriously as a parent. I make sure Sam’s food is clean. I even still sterilize all her cups and utensils! When dining out, I always wipe surfaces and other items that she uses. And just like the royals, I check and taste Sam’s food before giving her any. Yes, I’ve had my fair share of disappointments with restaurants serving subpar quality. However, I was not expecting a disastrous and extremely dangerous experience with one of the most popular fast food chains in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We got to Bacolod<\/a> quite late during our Negros<\/a> visit. Since we had late merienda, R and I decided that we’d skip dinner<\/a>. We opted to have some food to go for Sam before checking in at our hotel as she might get hungry later that night<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wanted to order a burger patty meal for her but it was “on hold” as the store was handling a big order when we got there. We went for fried chicken instead but we had to wait for 18 minutes. Since we did not want to look for another drive-thru, we just waited for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wait was shorter than expected which was good. We just checked if our order was complete and left for our hotel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour and a half after settling in our hotel, I began to prepare Sam’s dinner. I began to cut the chicken into smaller pieces and as I got through a quarter of an inch, I noticed some red streaks. Then as I got closer to the middle part, the texture was off. It was slimy and quite rubbery. As Gordon Ramsay would describe it, IT’S RAW.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Raw chicken is not just unappetizing but dangerous too as it could contain salmonella. Suddenly, the Netflix show Poisoned was playing in my head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

What if I got lazy and just let Sam eat the fried chicken by herself? She has no clue what raw chicken looks like. That was when I realized that this was a serious incident. I am so strict with raw eggs but this one is on a different level.<\/span><\/p>\n

I reported it to the brand the next day and was assured that someone from customer care would get back to me. Sadly, it was poorly handled. I didn’t get to talk to anyone until 10 days later. But that’s a different issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

So moms and dads, please pay extra attention to your kids’ food especially when dining out. I really hope that this will never happen again to anyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
