Chicken Club, Please, And ... Hold The Fly

By Erin Windle-

A woman bit in to a chicken club sandwich at a local restaurant last week and discovered a half-eaten fly.

The woman called the health department to review the facility.

"The fly must have flown right through the sandwich at the exact same time the bun went down," said Greg Turner, environmental food specialist at the health department. "The fly was alive when the woman bit into it."

This is, "without a doubt," the first complaint of a half-eaten fly he's ever had, Turner said. He noted the health department does not receive many such complaints.

The first thing the health department does when it receives this type of complaint is protect the identity of the facility and caller until they can substantiate the incident.

Then they make a visit to the facility to review it.

In this case, Turner said, the business is clean and well kept.

Occasionally, there will be a fly anywhere, as they are attracted to the lights, he said.

The "fly complaint" seems to be pure circumstance, Turner said. "For someone to surgically bite a fly in half ... well that's just interesting and really rare."
