Maggots swarm on a plate of grilled oysters, owner of Tu Nho restaurant system says ‘unusual’

On May 21, the social network Facebook appeared a clip recording the scene of many maggots crawling on a plate of grilled oysters with onion fat, which scared many people. Worth mentioning, the plate of oysters is being eaten by the whole table of diners, and the person filming the clip is constantly complaining “eat half of the fish”.

Immediately after being posted, the clip received special attention from the online community. Most of the comments left behind are boycotting the restaurant and should limit grilled oysters.

According to PV VTC News, the person who posted the clip is Ms. D.THY, living in Binh Duong. The incident happened at Tu Me 11 restaurant (Chanh Nghia ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong).

According to Ms. Y., on May 18, she and her family went to Tu Nho 11 restaurant to have dinner. The menu that night featured grilled oysters with cheese and grilled oysters with onion fat. However, when she ate half of the oyster, she discovered that there were many maggots crawling in the rest of the oyster.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at a restaurant, I immediately met Tu Me 11 in Chanh Nghia area, scared to death. Grilled oysters with cheese and grilled oysters with maggots beef maggots fat. Terrified, when I called the manager out, the manager said outside the shell. there are maggots, the inside is still alive and fresh. Hands down…”, Ms. Y wrote.

Responding to VTC News, Mr. Khoa, owner of Tu Nho restaurant system (9 branches) confirmed the above incident. However, he said, it is unusual for oysters to be cooked but the maggots are still alive.

“We have contacted Ms. Y and apologized, no matter whose fault, at the staff or how deeply, we still apologize. The system we have been in business for decades, many competitors, there’s a lot more behind it, so it’s hard to pinpoint the cause now. But to put it simply, it’s unusual for a bunch of maggots to crawl on top of a crispy oyster that’s been grilled over hot coals.” Mr. Khoa said.

Regarding the above case, the representative of Binh Duong Province’s Department of Health said that it had directed the Food Safety and Hygiene Sub-Department to set up an inspection team to irregularly inspect the facility where the incident occurred.

Currently, the Department of Health of Binh Duong province has asked relevant agencies to trace the origin of food and dishes to determine whether the origin of the goods is legal, how it is preserved and if it is guaranteed. After having specific results, it will be based on that for processing.
