According to sources, a member of the family, Arinjoy Sandilya, discovered the dead lizard remarkably intact and covered in the chip seasoning after consuming more than half of the packet with his family.
After the consumption of the chips packet with the dead lizard in it, the members of the family suffered from stomach infections.
Following the incident, the family promptly contacted Jabsons to complain about the dead lizard. They sent an email to a representative of the company attaching photographs of the sealed packet containing the lizard, however, he denied any possibility of such an incident occurring within their factory premises. They denied any responsibility for the mistake.
Later, disappointed by the response by the company, the family decided to file a complaint with the relevant food safety regulatory authorities.
