It's chicken, not 'fried rat'; KFC says after testing meat

California

KFC issued a statement that debunked a man's claim of being served a fried “rat” at their outlet in California, after conducting a DNA test of the meat.

The company made this statement on Tuesday, days after Devorise Dixon, a resident of Los Angeles, posted the photo of a piece of fried meat, claiming it was a rat, on Facebook. An independent lab tested the product and determined it was undoubtedly a piece of fried chicken, they stated.

A KFC official said that Dixon “wasn't cooperating with an investigation,” so his attorney obtained the `rat' and gave to be tested. KFC now demands an apology from him.
