KFC Japan says glass found in salad, two hurt

TOKYO, June 1 (Reuters) Small pieces of glass were found in food sold at two outlets of restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan Ltd., the company said today.

The glass came from a broken thermometer in a refrigerator at a vegetable factory and had fallen onto shredded cabbage, it said in a statement.

Two customers complained of hurting their teeth on the glass. One man said his tooth chipped when he chewed a glass shard, and another said a filling fell out, a KFC spokesman said.

The company suspended sales of dishes containing shredded cabbage at its 228 outlets across Japan.
