Currently, no information has been disclosed regarding the company, manufacturing location, or production date of the product. Further details on this incident are awaited.

In June, a Mumbai-based doctor discovered a piece of human finger in an ice cream cone ordered online, sparking significant outrage on social media and leading to a police complaint against Yummo ice cream officials. Forensic analysis revealed the finger belonged to an employee of the manufacturing unit.

Similarly, a woman from Noida claimed to find a frozen centipede in an Amul Ice Cream tub ordered via Blinkit, which also triggered widespread backlash online. Amul responded by reaching out to the customer, requesting the ice cream tub for a thorough investigation, but it couldn’t be retrieved.
