A doctor in Mumbai found a human finger in the Yummo ice cream. Following the discovery, he reported the incident to the Malad police.
A doctor in Mumbai received an unexpected and horrifying “topping” with his online ice cream order – a human finger. While eating the ice cream, Dr. Brendan Ferrao initially thought he had bitten into a large nut but soon realized it was a finger, complete with a nail.
The incident occurred on Wednesday. Dr. Ferrao, who lives in Orlem, Malad, had ordered three ice cream cones through an online app, one of which was a butterscotch cone from the Yummo brand.

Describing the unsettling experience, he said, “As I got to the middle of the ice cream, I felt a large piece. At first, I thought it was a big nut. Thankfully, I didn’t swallow it. Upon closer inspection, I saw it was a finger with a nail.”
Ferrao recounted, “Since yesterday, my tongue has felt numb. I was in shock, questioning how a human body part ended up in my mouth. The ice cream was manufactured a month ago, which raises serious concerns about medical negligence. I need a full blood checkup to ensure the finger didn’t contaminate the ice cream and potentially infect me.”
He added, “Now, just thinking about the ice cream triggers trauma and makes me feel like I have PTSD.”
Following the discovery, Dr. Ferrao reported the incident to the Malad police. They filed a case against the Yummo Ice Cream company, and the ice cream sample was sent for forensic analysis.
“A 26-year-old doctor with an MBBS degree from Malad west reported finding a half-inch piece of flesh with a nail in his butterscotch ice cream cone,” a senior police officer told news agency PTI.
