Stories abound of people finding all kinds of things in their food that don’t belong there, from cockroaches to pieces of plastic to cigarette butts. But it seems like there’s always a new surprise in store. On Tuesday, a customer at a bento shop in Sanchong, New Taipei found an extra garnish in a chicken leg bento just as they started digging into it. It was a large hornet. The customer immediately called the shop and posted about the incident online. Though the shop has apologized, there is some doubt as to how and when the insect ended up in the food. Let’s hear more.

From the photo, the hornet looks very fresh. It doesn’t look like it was cooked at a high temperature. If there were a hornet buzzing around while our staff served the portions, they would’ve noticed and freaked out. We offer our sincere apologies to the customer.

Member of public
Found a cigarette butt in food
It’s happened to me before that I ate a cigarette butt that had fallen into the veggies. Something this obvious… If you open the bento, you’re eating and see it, would you keep eating? It doesn’t seem like a likely story.

Shopkeeper
Has shop nearby
I’ve never eaten a hornet before. You’d surely notice it when you’re packing the meals. And if you saw it, you’d replace the whole thing. It doesn’t look like it was fried or cooked in any way. It probably just fell in. Or maybe the customer was trying to destroy the shop’s reputation.

It’s unclear at what point the hornet ended up as a side dish. The New Taipei City Department of Health says it will conduct an inspection to review food preparation procedures and pest control measures. If violations are found and not corrected within the given deadline, fines may reach up to NT$200 million.
