When a man in Bengaluru discovered a live snail in a salad he had purchased from a nearby restaurant using the food delivery app Swiggy, he was appalled. User Dhaval Singh posted about his negative experience on X (previously Twitter) to alert other users. In addition, he posted a video of the live snail that was perched atop the salad’s vegetables that he had purchased from the neighborhood eatery Leon Grill. “Never ordering from @LeonGrill ever again!” he said in his post and added, “Swiggy, do whatever you can to ensure this sh*t doesn’t happen to others… Bengaluru folks take note”.
The video showed a bowl filled with salad with a tiny snail resting on top of some veggies. in the clip, the insect is also seen moving.
Mr. Singh stated that in addition to receiving the tainted salad, his drink order was also inaccurate in the post’s comment section. Even worse, he said that Swiggy only gave him a partial refund when he filed a complaint about the meal delivery service. But Swiggy promptly gave Mr. Singh a refund for the entire order amount.
