JACKSON, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan teen finishing off his Arby’s roast beef sandwich chomped down on something tough that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out.
Turns out it tasted like finger. The fleshy, severed pad of an unfortunate employee’s finger, apparently.
Ryan Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday that once he got a good look at it, he knew right away what had been in the junior roast beef sandwich he was eating last Friday.
“I was like, ‘That (has) to be a finger,’” Hart said. “I was about to puke. … It was just nasty.”
The employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left her station without immediately telling anyone, said Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department. Her co-workers continued filling orders until they found out what had happened, he said.
John Gray, a spokesman for Arby’s, released a statement Wednesday apologizing for what he described as an isolated and “unfortunate incident.”
