ABC News: woman eating chili bites into a human finger
San Jose, California- A woman eating chili at a Wendy's restaurant bit into a portion of a human finger Tuesday night Santa Clara County health officials said.
"Initially, she did put this object in her mouth and did bite down on it and wasn't sure exactly what it was" Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Martin Fenstersheib said.
Officials said the fingertip was approximately 1 and 3/8ths inches long and a half inch piece of fingernail was also found. They believe it belongs to a woman because of the long manicured nail.
Health investigators are tracing all of the ingredients back to the manufacturer. They believe the finger got into the chili at an earlier stage.
