NSW woman finds something in her Nando's meal that will make you sick to the stomach
A NSW woman had the exact opposite of a ‘Happy Meal’ this week, when she was served maggot-infested chicken at a Nando’s outlet in Newcastle.
Emy Wamboi was halfway through her meal at Nando’s Kotara in NSW, which she had been enjoying with her son, when she noticed something on the surface of the bird.
"My son was very hungry," Emy told ABC News.
"He is seven years old so he was like, 'Oh, let me have that chicken'. So I just looked at the chicken and I saw some maggots running around."
Emy took a video of the meal, which you can see below, and returned the food for a full refund, but has not been able to face the prospect of eating chicken again.

Nando’s also released a statement:
"Nando's has done a thorough investigation of this issue and found the Kotara restaurant has followed all the correct cooking and hygiene procedures," a spokeswoman said.
"Our chicken is made to order and a fly or maggots could not have survived the cooking process, which includes placing the chicken on a grill with an operating surface temperature of over 350 degrees (Celsius).
"As the restaurant is open to the environment, and the maggots were found on the skin of the chicken, we believe this incident is the result of an airborne fly landing on the chicken in the short period of time between when it was plated and subsequently discovered by the customer at her table."
