Dead frog found inside wafer packet in Gujarat's Jamnagar, probe launched

An incident in Gujarat's Jamnagar has emerged, where a dead frog was reportedly discovered in a packet of potato wafers. This event follows recent reports of a human finger and centipede being found in online ice cream orders, heightening public concern.

Jasmin Patel, a resident of Pushkar Dham Society, reported that his four-year-old niece purchased the packet from a local shop on Tuesday evening. Both his niece and nine-month-old daughter had consumed some of the wafers before discovering the dead frog.

Officials from the Jamnagar Municipal Corporation have initiated an investigation into the matter. "One Jasmin Patel informed us that a dead frog was found in a packet of Crunchex, manufactured by Balaji Wafers. We visited the shop from where it had been purchased last night. Preliminary probe suggested it was indeed a frog in a decomposed state," said food safety officer DB Parmar, as reported by the Indian Express.

“As directed by the municipal commissioner, we will collect samples from this batch of wafer packets to conduct an inquiry," Parmar added, emphasising the seriousness of the situation.
