Jack In The Box Complaint - Jack in the Box serves moldy food - breakfast burrito

breakfast burrito - Complaint
Review by terryw on 2010-12-12
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- They served me moldy food.
They hid it deep inside the food item.
I bought a breakfast burrito. I opened it and found mold on the flour tortilla, on the part that was folded in at one end.
They thought they could hide the mold so I would eat it without noticing.
I'm lodging a complaint with the county health department.
Yes, there are pictures.

Let us know what the Santa Clara County Health Dept. has to say about it.

I don't believe they intentionally hid the mold from you. From the looks of the pictures, I'd say it was more of an oversight. That doesn't excuse the fact that the establishment had moldy tortillas, but to insinuate they did it on purpose is a pretty hefty accusation.

Yep, there is absolutely mold there. It may not have been intentional. Did you catch this while you were there, and ask for a replacement?

Eating out is riskier than at home. Unfortunately there isn't always the same attention to detail you would use. I do it less than I used to.

I'd let the main office know about this. Call Jack himself. Since the big issue in 1993 where tainted meat was sold, and lives were lost, they are very proactive on getting things fixed. I think if you call the main HQ and tell them this they will jump on that franchise owner quickly. Jack in the box learned the hard way back then to watch the quality control. so today they move real fast on issues like that. but only if people call the HQ and let them know.

OP, I was just wondering what caused you to open up and unroll the breakfast burrito in the first place? Did it have an odd taste?

Contact their corporate office, and let them know about the mold incident.
