    There was a ‘major’ local scandal last year when a few of the KFC joints in Cape Town ran out of chicken.

    You had one job, KFC.

    The internet was overrun with statements like “No Water! Now no chicken!”

    Yet, somehow, we powered through. I think it made us stronger. We shall overcome.

    The latest KFC scandal to hit the internet is a little harder to get over – if it turns out to be true.

    Tramaine Naidoo, from Durban, posted a video on Facebook, that shows what appear to be maggots crawling around in the chicken he bought at a KFC at Phoenix Plaza:

    So yes, this Durban man found maggots in his chicken, but was it KFC chicken?

    TimesLIVE reached out to KFC, and it claims that the maggot-infested chicken is “not possible”.

    “At KFC, food safety is of the utmost importance to us and our strict global processes and policies include specific cooking times and temperatures to ensure that our products pose no health risk whatsoever to our customers. The chicken served to KFC customers is locally sourced from reputable South African suppliers and is delivered three times a week in temperature-maintained trucks.

    “The chicken is also quality and safety checked 34 times from the farm to the restaurant before it is served, to ensure that our customers are served freshly prepared chicken at all times.”

    The chicken is also apparently cooked at high temperatures of 170°C and held in warming cabinets above 60°C, 22°C above the minimum standard temperature.

    If that’s the case then no living creature, including maggots, would be able to survive under those conditions.

    Nevertheless, KFC is investigating, and if you’d like a tour of their kitchens to see the “stringent quality and hygiene standards that are followed at each of [their] restaurants”, then you can give them a call.

    This unfortunate video comes shortly after the fast food franchise had to apologise for that awful Zinger Popcorn Box advert.

    KFC’s PR department is really earning its keep this year.
