A popular Chinese restaurant chain has lost around $190m (\u00a3145m) in market value after a pregnant woman found a dead rat in her soup. <\/p>\n

Hotpot restaurant Xiabu Xiabu’s stock hit its lowest level in almost a year, after photos of the dead rat being fished out of the broth with a pair of chopsticks quickly spread online. <\/p>\n

The outlet in Shandong province has now been temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n

The outlet reportedly offered her 5,000 yuan (\u00a3559, $729) as compensation. <\/p>\n

According to local news outlet Kankan News who spoke to her husband – identified as Mr Ma – he declined the offer, as he wanted his wife to undergo a full body check-up before deciding on a compensation amount.<\/p>\n

“I feel like vomiting. I’m never going to eat hotpot outside again,” said one user.<\/p>\n

On 11 September, the company’s share price hit its lowest level since October last year. As of Wednesday, the hotpot restaurant’s market value is slowly recovering.<\/p>\n

“Xiabu Xiabu has always been one of my favourite restaurants, I thought they were quite clean as well… I can’t believe this,” another commented.<\/p>\n

“If something happens to her baby how are they going to compensate her? Is a life worth only 20,000 yuan?” one asked.<\/p>\n

The restaurant initially put out a statement on Saturday saying that it had “ruled out” the possibility that a lack of hygiene had caused the rat to end up in the hotpot, but later deleted it.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Weifang city, the restaurant branch where the rat was found, said they would conduct investigations into Xiabu Xiabu’s restaurant. <\/p>\n

Hotpot is a common meal in China and across other parts of Asia. <\/p>\n

A simmering pot of hot soup is placed at a dining table and various vegetables and raw meats are then placed in the pot to cook. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
