A woman discovered a rusty knife blade measuring approximately 10 centimetres in her takeaway meal in eastern China.

The shocking incident was filmed in Shanghai on July 4.

The woman, named Ms Zhang, ordered a takeaway through a popular food delivery platform. However, upon opening the meal package in anticipation, she was alarmed to find a foreign object embedded within the food.

Initially mistaking it for undercooked ingredients or seaweed, Zhang’s apprehension grew as she realised it was a heavily rusted and razor-sharp utility knife blade.

Measuring about 10 centimetres in length with remnants of white adhesive tape clinging to one end, the blade posed a grave threat. Zhang expressed her shock, noting that had she not been in dim lighting and alert, she might have accidentally ingested the blade, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Upon discovering the blade, Zhang promptly photographed it as evidence and contacted the food delivery service. However, the initial response from the vendor offered only a refund and a replacement meal, which left Zhang dissatisfied.

Zhang argued that such a response failed to address the serious threat to her safety and highlighted significant lapses in the vendor’s food safety protocols.

After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue directly with the vendor, Zhang decided to publicise the incident online, disclosing the name of the implicated establishment, 'Zu Chuan'.

Her intention was to caution other consumers to remain vigilant and to prompt regulatory authorities to take decisive action regarding food safety standards.

近日，上海市发生一起令人震惊的外卖食品安全事件，一名女子在点了一份看似普通的麻辣拌外卖后，竟在食物中发现了一片长约10厘米的生锈美工刀片。

据当事人张女士（化名）介绍，她于近日通过手机外卖平台点了一份心仪已久的麻辣拌作为晚餐。然而，当张女士满怀期待地打开外卖包装准备享用时，却意外发现食物中夹杂着一块硬物。起初，张女士误以为是未煮熟的食材或海带，但仔细观察后惊恐地发现，这竟是一片锈迹斑斑、锋利无比的美工刀片。

刀片长约10厘米，尾部还缠绕着几缕白色胶带，显得格外触目惊心。张女士表示，如果不是当时光线昏暗且自己有所警觉，很可能已经误将刀片吞下，后果不堪设想。

发现刀片后，张女士立即拍照留证并与外卖商家取得联系。然而，商家的初次回应却显得颇为敷衍，仅提出了退款和补送一份新外卖的解决方案。对于张女士而言，这样的处理方式显然无法让她满意。她认为，这把刀片已经严重威胁到了她的人身安全，更暴露出商家在食品安全管理上的严重漏洞。

在多次沟通无果后，张女士决定将此事曝光到网络上，并公开了涉事店铺的名称“祖船”。她希望通过这种方式提醒其他消费者注意避坑，同时也希望引起相关部门的重视和介入。
