I purchased a Danish Custard pastr from Checkers Hartebeespoort Wednesday 21 February 2024, I had... See More eaten into the pastry and halfway through noticed a rotting/mold on the Custard as well as the pastry was burnt. Immediately I stopped eating the pastry. I emailed Checkers Hartebeespoort and they offered me a replacement and brushed it off, I asked the representative "how can you replace something that made me sick I have already lost trust in Checkers " I then found a Complaint number on Google and sent a whatsapp message with the pictures. I then got some Gaviscon and Immodium as since then I have had an upset, runny tummy. Eventually on Friday I went to see a doctor as these symptoms have not stopped. The doctor has given me medication and today 5 days later I am still in pain with the same symptoms, no one has contacted me today. Last week when I had spoken to someone else from Head Office she had told me that there was mold on the pastry. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting See Less

Today Bad chicken I sent the chicken quesadilla back and notified the serve that the chicken was bad, shortly after leaving the restaurant I got really sick. I just called the GM and told him and the guy talks to me, the customer, like I am wrong... See More because nobody else got sick and I don’t know what I’m talking about and only if somebody else complains about the chicken will he do anything to help me. I have cooked in restaurants many years and I know exactly what i am talking about. I have a current food handlers permit and there are numerous things that could have happened to that particular chicken before it made it to my table. Cross contamination, leaving it out too long. He could have had an extra chicken from a previous order, set that pot piece aside, and put it back on the grill a few mins when my order came in. He could have set it as In a save the day that he also used fish, he could have dropped that piece of chicken on the floor. How can you tell me that the only way I could have gotten sick was if the entire container of chicken the cook was serving from was contaminated and a bunch of other people get sick too. I’ve worked in this industry for many years and I know without a reasonable doubt that they served me improperly handled chicken and I got really sick from it. | Symptoms: Other, Vomiting, Nausea, Diarrhea See Less
