In recent times, several posts about food from outside being contaminated by insects have been going viral. In one of the latest incidents taking the internet by storm, a Reddit user in Bengaluru claimed they found a cockroach in their sandwich ordered via Zomato. The post contains a picture of the food item and is captioned, “Cockroach in sandwich ordered from FreshMenu, Sanjay Nagar from Zomato”. In one of the comments, the author of the original post admitted that they had eaten one of the two pieces of the sandwich and found the cockroach on the uneaten piece. Take a look below:

One Reddit user advised, “Best stay away from any cloud kitchens on Swiggy/Zomato. Quality and standards are not restaurant level. Especially Freshmenu.” To this, the person replied, “Idk how true this is but based on my observation tier 2 towns actually have better quality of food in restaurants. I am in Bengaluru for college and in my town I haven’t heard about roach and stuff found in food, people getting sick from eating from a particular restaurant, etc except an odd case here and there. In Bengaluru, you literally need to avoid every other restaurant. Truffle, Leon, FreshMenu, etc, have had problems with all of them by now you name it, and based on what people on this sub say about these places, I am not alone.”

Read some of the other reactions below:
“Why are you complaining when you can’t get anything fresher than being alive and moving? Looks like an authentic FreshMenu item!”
“These kinds of posts actually give me motivation to not eat at any restaurants or order food online.”
“Freshmenu is so bad. I once ordered thali with mix veg. The rice was raw and crunchy the veggies were not even cooked. They had just put cut veggies in a leftover sauce. Eeew…worst Zomato experience.”
“I’ve found cockroaches multiple times, in the soup ordered from a cloud kitchen, in the biryani ordered from the famous Nandini restaurant. All I know is very few of them follow proper hygiene & the sensible thing is to avoid having outside food.”
Last month, in another viral post, an X user claimed she found cockroaches in a Japanese miso ramen chicken she ordered from Auntie Fug’s, via Zomato. The food delivery platform responded to her complaint. Read the full story here.
