Just the smell of fried chicken makes me nauseous. Easy pass for me.

Not the same thing.  A human hair in your food, is a foreign object.   A chicken feather in a piece of chicken, is not.

Never heard of anybody dying of a fried feather.  At frying temperatures it would be sterilized so what's the big deal?  Much ado about nothing.

Ive found a feather or two in fried chicken over the years I took no issue with it..its a natural part of the bird. the US Food Adminsitation would laugh at your complaint after they hung up with you. Ive also found human hairs in my food. I just discard that portion and eat around it. I don't believe in wasting food when so many people around the Globe are starving.

We've probably all eaten far grosser & worse things, the difference is we didn't see them before they went down the hatch!

@shortbreadlover 

 

I would contact the corporate headquarters of the store in question.

 

DD works in the fast food industry for Popeye's Chicken and the chicken they receive raw commonly has small feathers still attached, but they have an employee who removes any feathers and any excess globs of fat or skin before the chicken is marinated, then fried.

 

I think the Deli manager is not doing his job by making sure his employees do this.

 

I would also address the Deli manager's flippant response to you, that would've really ticked me off!

Folks this is overblown. If we ever worked in meat processing plants many would likely turn vegan. This is a natural phenomena. Food by nature is never sterile. That's we have billions of bacteria in our gut that processes it. The human body is amazing. A few stray hairs is the least of the problems with our food supply .... Pesticides, E Coli, salmonella, Mad Cow disease, waxy resins used on vegetables.etc.

I've never seen "store fried" chicken but for years and years I've purchased whole rotisserie chickens from supermarkets and other stores all over the West Coast, East Coast and a couple of states in the South..

 

Never once had any issue.
