Sharing a photograph of the bread packet as proof, the user revealed his unpleasant experience on Twitter. He wrote, “Most unpleasant experience with Blinkit, where an alive rat was delivered inside the bread packet ordered on 1.2.23. This is alarming for all of us. If 10 minutes delivery has such baggage, Blinkit I would rather wait for a few hours than take such items.” The tweet also consisted of a screengrab of his conservation with the customer care service of the online application. In the brief interaction, Blinkit’s executive assured the customer that the incident has been escalated for investigation from their end.

Another commented, “Blinkit ‘Better late than never’. Try to make sure, of good and safe delivery.”
One more added, “The food safety department should respond to this. They should not continue blind eye.”
Meanwhile, a user added, “If I found a rat, I would call the police. This is so dangerous.”
