    KFC is being scrutinised again for another video doing the rounds on social media showing a clump of maggots wriggling around inside a piece of their fried chicken.

    The woman who shared the video claims to have bought the chicken from the KFC in Lydenburg, Mpumalanga.

    Videos like these pop up from time to time, including a man last year who shared his experience of maggot-filled fried chicken he claimed was bought from the KFC at Phoenix Plaza in Durban.

    In the latest video, the woman stresses that “we’re all going to die”. According to The Citizen, not everybody on Twitter is falling for the drama.

    I wouldn’t recommend watching this if you’re about to eat:

    KFC strongly denies the possibility of there being some “added protein” in their famous chicken considering the conditions in which they make their food:

    KFC South Africa confirmed to The Citizen on Tuesday afternoon that they are aware of the incident, but that “it must be noted that our chicken is cooked at high temperatures of 170°C and held in warming cabinets above 60°C , 22°C above the minimum standard temperature.”

    The fast food giants replied to the woman’s tweet, asking her to provide proof of her purchase:

    Meanwhile, people all over Twitter joined the debate:

    One Twitter user wanted to know if the maggots wouldn’t have been killed in the blazing hot frying oil, or whether the maggots appeared while “on those trays that collect dust and customer/staff breaths”.

    Twitter user @_Neshaune_Kings said he worked at a KFC outlet in Tshwane, claiming that hot chicken didn’t always mean that it was freshly fried:

    “Sometimes when we had fried chicken left over [in] the night, we stored it and sold it again the next day… just because it’s hot it doesn’t mean it was fried… Microwave swirrat [sic],” he said.

    KFC hit back on this point, saying that “any potential left-over chicken is safely discarded and not resold to customers the following day”.

    It is true that maggots cannot survive being deep-fried at such extreme temperatures, and can only really appear if the food is being left out afterwards.

    Whether that’s because the specific branch hasn’t stored leftover food properly or because the customer has left their food out of the fridge for more than two hours (after which it is no longer safe to eat), is what this debate really boils down to.
