Gujarat: Dead frog 'found' in wafer packet; probe ordered
Jamnagar (Gujarat), June 19: The civic authority here ordered an inquiry on Wednesday after a dead frog was allegedly found in a packet of potato wafers.
The complaint came days after a Mumbai resident claimed to have found a piece of human finger in the ice cream he had ordered online.
Samples of the production batch of the wafer packet will be collected as part of the probe, said an official of the Jamnagar Municipal Corporation.
"One Jasmin Patel informed us that a dead frog was found in a packet of Crunchex, manufactured by Balaji Wafers. We visited the shop from where it had been purchased last night. Preliminary probe suggested it was indeed a frog in a decomposed state," food safety officer D B Parmar told reporters.
"As directed by the municipal commissioner, we will collect samples of this batch of wafer packets to conduct an inquiry," he added.

She and his nine-month-old daughter ate some wafers from the packet before his niece spotted the dead frog, he said.
