Woman finds 'dead mouse’ in Hershey’s chocolate syrup
A shocking incident unfolded when a woman discovered a dead Mouse in a bottle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup that she had ordered online via Zepto. The woman, Prami Sridhar, recorded the incident in a viral video, prompting a response from the confectionery company.
In her Instagram post, Prami shared her “shocking discovery” in her Zepto order. She poured some syrup onto a spoon and allegedly found a few strands of hair. However, the situation escalated when she opened the “sealed cap” and poured the syrup into a cup—there, she found a dead mouse. Other family members also confirmed the presence of the rodent after washing it in running water.
Hershey’s responded to Prami's post, as did Hershey’s India. Social media users expressed their outrage over the incident, suggesting legal action and emphasizing the importance of food safety. Some even shared their own concerns about packaged products and hygiene practices.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for stringent quality control and safety measures in food production and distribution.
