My brother found this at the bottom of his rice bowl.

The rice bowl had basmati rice, gyro, yogurt mint sauce, and tomato/red onion salad.

When he asked the manager what was on his bowl, the manager apparently told him that it was normal due to the way they store their onions.

????

I've never seen this before. It looks like the ink one sees on meats that have been usda stamped, but I can't tell.

Anyone?

I just made pickles and the garlic cloves did something like that. Supposedly a reaction with the vinegar and something in the water. Yours is way worse & may not be the same thing but is a similar color.

I've been pickling a fair amount of time and I've never seen a reaction like that. Looks like that onion had a little rotten spot -like onions often do- and instead of biopsying that business, it just got overlooked and added into the mix. No matter what though if you as a chef saw any product like that you would burn it, not keep it right? Totally uncool. Also those red onions don't really even look pickled... There's no loss of color or color bleeding which basically always occurs when pickling red onions.

I google searched and found quite a lot on the whys and wheres but whether it was safe to eat was another story.

Split pretty evenly between the nutrients in this type of mold being good for you and OMG pitch the jar out into a bio hazard box and fumigate the kitchen lol.

I don't eat blue food so I would prolly send back and then go purge lol.

I don't know what it is. I don't care. That's not good. I hate comping food. I would have comped that immediately and prayed no one got sick or sued me and then gone into the kitchen to figure it out. 

Not acceptable.
