Yaman Dev Sharma took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the image of a Burger King burger, tainted with visible mold.
Sharma’s social media post, which has since gone viral, showcased a disturbing photograph of a burger from the fast-food titan, where the bread was marred by mold. Sharma's caption read, “Ordered from Burger King via Zomato. After finishing the fries, opened the burger (Veg Whooper), and today I came to know that they have launched a new flavor. Where mold is coming free with the burger bread.”
Sharma further condemned the oversight, remarking, “This shows how much you people care about your customers' health. Brother, you can clearly say that we will not order from here next time.”

In an effort to quell the mounting backlash, Zomato, the food delivery service through which Sharma placed his order, issued a statement acknowledging the gravity of the situation.
