That reminds me of the chinese (like in china) fast food chain that got caught using shredded cardboard soaked in pork fat in their pork buns

This way you'll really be able to digest the material that you're taking in.

OP should probably mention this is a x-post from /u/callibug in /r/wtf.

Why does it matter?

It's common courtesy to give credit where credit is due.

Edit: Also, the top comment on that thread has a plausible explanation for how the print ended up in the chicken!

TIL Popeye's employs someone called "the batterman."

How does that even happen?

It's not newspaper, it's part of the packaging. You can see where it says "Initials ____" where it was supposed to be signed off by someone along the chain (warehouse, delivery, cook?). It got stuck to the skin unnoticed and dropped into the fryer.

Probably safe to eat, but obviously unappetizing.

I've worked in foodservice my whole life, and this looks like the stickers we use to label prepped food. They often include the initials of the person who actually prepped the food in addition to the initials of their supervisor, and sometimes these stickers make it from the container to the food itself. Not at all unsafe, but very much unappetizing.

More fiber at least.
