SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A diner at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in
San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared
by the chain, local officials said on Wednesday.


"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in
their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said
Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa
Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and
vomited."


Local officials launched an investigation after the incident on Tuesday
night and the medical examiner determined on Wednesday that the object
was a human finger.


Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw
materials Wendy's used to prepare the chili, Gale said.


Wendy's International Inc. corporate office did not immediately return
a call for comment. Wendy's is the third-largest hamburger chain.
