Case against Pizza Hut, staffer held - [23/06/2002] - HindustanTimes.com

You would think that in India, of all places, restaurant chains would be very careful about what they put in their products. But as the McDonald's case of a while back -- where they used beef to flavor their fries -- shows, that isn't the case. This one looks like some sort of religious beef (ha!) as Siddharth Jain, who I assume is a Jain, claims he ordered vegetarian spaghetti at Pizza Hut and when he ate it discovered there was chicken in it.

Pizza Hut's Indian CEO denies the charges, because he has intimate knowledge of the workings of all his restaurants. Two oddities... First, a Pizza Hut employee was arrested for this, which seems a little extreme, but I'd guess that India has reason to be worried about people stirring up religious strife. And Jain claims he not only doesn't eat an animal products, including eggs (and I'd guess milk) but also onions and garlic. I have to admit I don't understand why onions and garlic are considered animal products, and I expect that even Pizza Hut style Italian food probably has both.
