Queensland man Cameron Baker said he ate this much of an Oporto burger before noticing it was mouldy.
A MELBOURNE Airport traveller is in a bun fight with a fast food franchise after claiming he chowed down on a mouldy burger.
Cameron Baker said he’s still looking for an apology from Oporto after biting into what he claims was a mould-ridden burger at its Melbourne Airport store in October last year.
He said he had eaten most of the burger before realising there was an extra condiment and took it to the manager, who had promised he would be contacted by someone.
But according to Mr Baker, he was contacted by Delaware North, which manages and delivers catering and service at various retail outlets at Melbourne Airport.
He claimed they had “accepted no responsibility for the mouldy burger” and had informed him not to discuss it with anyone.
“Everybody just tried to sweep it under the rug,” he said.
“(They told me) ‘we consider this matter closed’.”
Mr Baker had been on a stopover in Melbourne on his way back to Queensland following a short stint in Hobart.
He said he’d been immediately unwell as a result and had, until recently, been unable to eat meat.
He said he was slowly starting to eat meats again.
“I couldn’t have any food that wasn’t cooked by myself, or any meat,” Mr Baker said.
“I was very, very sick. I was in bed throwing up.”
He said he’d been to the doctors and missed four days of work, and is still seeking compensation.
“You’ve got a certain trust there with places such as this, especially when you know it’s such a high turnover restaurant,” he said.
“Even an apology would have been nice. (I want them) to take responsibility … and just to pay for the days I have (missed off) work.”
