When she probed deeper with chopsticks, she found a plastic wrapper in the chicken ball itself.
She pulled the plastic wrapper out and snapped some pictures of it.
The woman later shared the pictures on Facebook.
Recounting the incident in the comments, she said that she was glad that her son did not eat that chicken ball. Otherwise, it could have been a choking hazard.
