A MUM has spoken of her horror after her daughter said she found a piece of glass in her KFC meal.

Jenna Howlett took her seven-year-old daughter Kyla to the fast-food restaurant at Basingstoke Leisure Park on Wednesday, October 8 for a treat because she was doing well at school.

The pair were joined by Kyla’s godmother Mary Dyer.

Mary bought Jenna and Kyla rice box meals and piri piri chicken to eat outside.

But 31-year-old Jenna, from Arlott Drive, South View, was shocked when Kyla passed over a lump of glass the size of a two-pence piece which she said she had found inside the box meal.

Jenna, a mother-of-one, said: “I went back into KFC and went mad.

“He wanted to refund me for just one of the meals but I said ‘no, I want the money back for the whole of the order’.

“There was no apology.”

She added: “I was fuming. I was going mad.

“My daughter could have eaten it and what would have happened to her?

“They didn’t offer any explanation about how the glass got there.”

Mary, 56, from Popley, added: “It was a big piece of glass, I couldn’t believe it.

“We went back to him and he snatched it out of our hands.”

Eventually, a member of staff at KFC agreed to refund the £17 total cost of all the food.

But Jenna said the incident had upset her daughter, who is a pupil at Oakridge Infant School, particularly as the visit was meant to be an after-school treat.

She added: “She won’t want to go back there again after this.

“She said, ‘Mummy we are not eating from there again’.

“She said she was really scared. It did upset her.”

A spokeswoman for KFC said: “We are really sorry for the customer’s experience.

“Our restaurant staff apologised to the customer and provided her with a full refund at the time.

“We have requested to test the object in question but we believe it to be a piece of plastic from the restaurant’s rice containers.

“These have since been replaced.

“We would like to reassure customers that this was a one-off incident and that food safety is of the utmost importance to us.”
