Muslim Man Couldn’t Eat For Three Days After Biting Into Loads Of Bacon In His Burger King Order
“It was a simple instruction.”
A Muslim customer was left gagging and “vomiting” over his burger after he bit into bacon. And it happened despite him reminding the order taker from Burger King that he wants no bacon in his burger twice.
Gundogdu Yuzudik, who works at Stansted Airport, was horrified to find a “load” of bacon in his burger.
The 22-year-old from Enfield, Greater London, shared his experience and complaint on TikTok. He said, “When I went to eat my burger, I took a bite, and it didn’t taste right. I opened the bun, and it was loaded with bacon.”
“Even the smallest bite made me feel mentally and physically sick. For three days after, I wasn’t eating properly. I was physically hungry, but I couldn’t eat without vomiting. I was feeling sick.”
“The thought of the bacon made me feel sick. Even when I’d be chewing anything, I was automatically thinking it was bacon. The first day, I didn’t eat. By the third day, I was slowly getting back to eating.”
“I was starving, but I physically and mentally couldn’t eat anything.”
“It’d been my plan that I was never going to eat it in my life. I didn’t know whether I was going to have an allergic reaction. That’s how important it was to me. I went back to the Burger King and complained, but they weren’t very helpful. They just apologized, and that was it. Nothing else, which really shocked me.”
“This is absolutely ridiculous,” said the man as he concluded the whole situation after three days of being unable to eat properly.
“So I do want to give a big shout-out to Burger King if you’re going to watch this because you will be tagged in this. You need your staff out; you need to let them know that they need to listen to simple instructions that they have been given by customers really.”
The comment section has many people agreeing with some informing him that the Burger King is not halal-certified. But one commented, “Even if the burger isn’t halal, it’s the principle.”
“I specifically say with all my meals ‘no bacon’, and it’s always been correct. I told this to the till lady a couple of times, and when I got my food, I didn’t expect otherwise,” Gundogdu talked about his past experiences.
“It was a simple instruction. It’s a mistake, and we’re all human, but it wasn’t busy, so they weren’t working under pressure, so there wasn’t a reason for them to have made a mistake. It’s just down to basic instructions. We’re all human; we all make mistakes, I appreciate that.”

The spokesperson for the Burger King branch involved has released a statement regarding the issue, “We’re committed to providing passengers with a great experience at our restaurants, and we’re sorry to have fallen short on this occasion.
“In light of this incident, we will be retraining our team and making sure all customized orders are double checked before they are served to help ensure it doesn’t happen again. We have been in contact with the customer to apologize directly.”
