Informing about the suspension, the FSSAI said ANI, “The premises of the ice cream manufacturer have been inspected by a team of FSSAI’s Western Region Office and its license has been suspended.” Meanwhile, the forensic lab reports of the human finger are yet to be out.

The shocker happened on Wednesday when Dr. Brendan Serrao, asked his sister to include some ice cream in her online grocery purchase list.
On taking a bite of it, the doctor felt something unusual in his mouth. Hence he spit it out. On yanking, he found a small piece of a severed human finger, around 2 cm long. He immediately filed a complaint in the nearby police station, following which a detailed investigation into the matter is underway.
