The company admitted to the customer complaint on Wednesday - raised by one Dr. Brendan Serrao of Malad West - that a "foreign object was found in one of our products ordered via a delivery partner."
A day after a human finger was allegedly detected in one of its Yummo brand ice cream cones delivered to a customer, Walko Food Co Ltd. said on Thursday that it has stopped outsourcing its manufacturing to a third party and is withdrawing stocks of the ice cream from all stores.
In a guarded statement, a company spokesperson said, "We are taking this incident very seriously. We have stopped manufacturing (the ice cream) at this third-party facility. We have isolated the said product at the facility, and our warehouses and are in the process of doing the same at the market level."
