'Raw' chicken served at Scots soft play centre sparks food probe

A Scots soft player centre has been slammed as 'disgusting' for serving a customer a ' raw' chicken burger.

Wonder World Soft Play came under fire after one customer shared worrying snaps of a chicken breast that appeared undercooked.

The fuming punter who didn't want to be named took to social media to share photos of her meal at the centre in Edinburgh on Sunday, reports Edinburgh Live.

She wrote on Facebook: "Don’t get any food from Wonder World soft play in Leith.

"Got a chicken burger today and it was raw in the middle."

The customer continued: "I had taken one or two bites before I realised.

"I definitely ate a bit of the raw meat.

"I looked at it because it tasted funny and rubbery and I thought I saw a bit pink.

"At first I thought I was just being paranoid, then I opened it up a bit more and it was like that."

In less than 24 hours the shocking post has been shared almost 400 times.

Fearing she'd suffer a bout of food poisoning, the diner added that Wonder World staff 'couldn't have been nicer' and  'offered her a full refund' before offering her 'nachos instead'.

Wonder World Soft Play passed an inspection carried by Food Standards Scotland in October 2019, meaning they meet the legal requirements for food hygiene.

Over 2,000,000 people visit the six Wonder World Soft Plays in Glasgow, Edinburgh, East Kilbride, Falkirk and Kircaldy.

The chain, founded in 2013, employs over 250 staff across each of the centres in the chain.

David Capaldi Wonder World Soft Play's managing director said: “Firstly, on behalf of everyone in the business, I wish to once again extend our sincere apologies for any upset caused because like many of our customers and staff, I am a parent myself and place huge importance on strict food hygiene policies.

"As a Group, we are proud of our reputation for operating every aspect of our business to the highest standard, so for something like this to occur is totally unacceptable.

"The member of staff responsible is no longer employed by us. Moving forward, and working with the on-site management team, I have personally taken charge of a thorough review of systems and procedures across the Group and will implement any required changes to ensure our high standards are maintained at all times.”
