Part of a rat leg and rat hair turned up in a hamburger purchased at a hospital cafeteria, according to a report by the Lusa news agency.
The Portuguese woman who made the disturbing discovery was an employee of the state-run hospital in Leiria. She has filed a complaint with local health authorities.
The hamburgers were reportedly produced at a local butcher shop and not on the hospital premises.
