A woman who officials said bit down on part of a cooked human finger in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's restaurant has taken the first step toward pursuing a lawsuit.
She filed a claim with the franchise owner, according to an Associated Press report.

Officials said the woman scooped up the finger in a mouthful of chili last week in San Jose, California. 'Initially she did put this object in her mouth and did bite down on it," Santa Clara County Health Department spokesman Ben Gale said. "Initially she was a bit grossed out and vomited a number of times at the unpleasant experience of having a finger in her mouth." She told ABC's "Good Morning America" that knowing a human body part was in her mouth was "disgusting." Her attorney said he'll try to seek a resolution without having to go to court. A Wendy's spokesman isn't commenting on the claim. He said Wendy's maintains the finger did not enter the food chain in its ingredients.
