A customer in Puchong had a horrifying experience when they found a cigarette butt inside the filling of their curry puff, according to a report by China Press. What began as a simple snack turned into a moment of disgust and anger as the customer discovered the foreign object hidden in the food.

Immediately, the customer returned to the curry puff vendor to confront them about the shocking discovery. However, instead of receiving an apology or an explanation, they were only offered a refund of RM3, the price of the curry puff. The gesture, meant to settle the issue, left the customer feeling that their concerns were being dismissed.

Outraged by the vendor's lack of accountability, the customer told China Press, "How does a cigarette butt end up in a curry puff? Were the ingredients collected from the trash?" Their concerns quickly expanded beyond the one contaminated snack, as they began to question whether this incident vendors pointed to broader issues in the food preparation.

"Is this just one bad curry puff, or is there something wrong with the entire batch? This is a clear failure of quality control, supervision, and basic responsibility," the customer added.

"They went on to highlight the potential health risks associated with such negligence. What if someone eats this and gets sick? Who would be held accountable?" the customer asked, stressing that food vendors must take responsibility for ensuring the safety of the products they sell.

The incident raises concerns about food safety and hygiene in local eateries, with the customer urging that serious consequences should follow for businesses that fail to maintain basic standards of cleanliness and responsibility.

The discovery of a cigarette butt in food not only underscores the importance of maintaining high hygiene standards but also raises questions about the consequences of neglecting such practices in food establishments.
