A woman who ordered chili at a San Jose Wendy's Restaurant found a cooked human finger in her bowl. The Wendy's on Monterey Highway was still open Thursday while the Santa Clara County Health Department investigated. But officials there said it was definitely a human finger -- complete with a long manicured fingernail -- and it probably did not come from a Bay Area Wendy's employee. "We have no evidence of any accident within the employees at the facility itself," said Ben Gale of the Santa Clara County Health Department. "We've asked everybody to show us they have ten fingers and everything is OK there." The incident came to light about 7:20pm Wednesday, when the woman called 911. "Initially she did put this object in her mouth and did bite down on it," said Dr. Marty Fensterscheib of the Santa Clara County Health Department. "Initially, she was a bit grossed out ... and vomited a number of times." The fingerprint is mutilated, but officials believe there might be enough there to run the print through a national computer to try to find the owner. The finger has jagged edges, which means it was likely lacerated by a machine -- possibly a meat grinder. The health department says Wednesday's batch of chili was likely cooked at a hot enough temperature to kill any diseases, so nobody should get sick from eating there. Health officials are trying to trace where the ingredients came from, but they've decided it's OK for the store to remain open in the meantime. "We are as anxious as anyone else to get to the bottom of this," said Wendy's spokesperson Bob Bertini. www2.cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_082152759.html Freakin' chili. You never know what's in that stuff.  |

I'm guessing it helped the taste. Its funny all ex-Wendys employees always say avoid the chili.

I used to work at Wendy's. For fast food, I think their chili is good. I ate a ton of it. |

Now how the hell does a supplier not notice when an employee has a digit-removing incident at work? And shouldn't you, just maybe, not send out the batch of meat she was working on till you find all the pieces that she lost? Or, as a stretch, not send that load of meat out at all?

Its only extra protein. I am surprised they did try to charge extra for the meat.

That's sort of right. The hamburgers have to be hot off the grill, so there always have to be some on the grill. If it gets slow, you will overcook some of them. Also, while cooking some will break apart. These are all saved, dated, and put in the refer. In a day or two, they are brought out and boiled in water. The meat is then drained, chopped, and added to the chili. The chili is then cooked. So they are technically leftover hamburgers, but on the other hand, they are cooked three times. |

That is normal. This is part of Wendy's new line of "finger foods".

maybe the meat used in WENDY's is really humans? but the finger didnt get ground up enough with the rest of the body?
 maybe some sick murderer might have tried to get rid of a body by grinding it up with the rest of the ground beef to get rid of the evidence? |

I'm not generally weak stomached at all but I'm pretty sure I woulda lost my cookies too if I'd bit down on a damn finger in my chili. Now a taco it would prolly be ok because that, in fact, is a finger food

Come to think of it, the finger's not so bad, at least they said the nail was manicured

I just hope the employee washed his hands before he got his finger chopped off.......
Hey, didn't the guys on the Sopranos get rid of a body once or twice by chopping it up at a butcherstore? HMMMMMMM, might be interesting to see who's fingerprints come back on this... |

A finger in Wendy's chili is better than a finger in Wendy's pussy.
Or is it???????

Maybe the finger is the only part of the rest of the body that didn't get ground up.

"San Jose police confirmed that Ayala, 39, was arrested Thursday night in Las Vegas in connection with the incident but would not elaborate on the details until a news conference today. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Juanita Goode said Ayala was brought in handcuffs to the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas where she was booked on charges of grand larceny and attempted grand larceny."

First where did she get the finger. Second the only thing wrong with Wendys chilli is that it has day old burger meat in it. Waste not want not.

Yeah, she does have a list of frivolous lawsuits, but I think they found the owner of the finger, so it's probably not BS. |
