The 14-year-old, from Michigan, was served the gruesome sarnie after a restaurant employee cut off her finger with a meat slicer while preparing the meal, it is alleged. According to reports, the employee left her station to deal with her injury, while other employees – who were unaware of the injury – completed the order.
Ryan Hart told the Jackson Citizen Patriot that after biting into the roast beef sandwich: “I was like, ‘that’s got to be a finger.’ It was just nasty.”
His mother, Jamie Vail, added: “Somebody loses a finger and you keep sending food out the window. I can’t believe that.”
Arby’s vice president of corporate communications, John Gray, told Yahoo! Shine: “Arby’s wants to reassure customers that we are committed to providing quality food in a safe and healthy environment. We are deeply concerned and apologetic to the guest involved in this unfortunate incident.”
He added: “An isolated and unfortunate accident occurred in a franchisee’s Jackson, Michigan restaurant in which an employee was injured. Upon learning of the incident, the franchisee’s restaurant team shut down food production and thoroughly cleaned and sanitised the restaurant. The franchisee fully cooperated with the Health Department during the investigation, and the restaurant was given the approval to remain open.”
