A TikTok influencer has been widely criticised after accusing Clever Chinese Kitchen, a family-run Chinese restaurant in South Carolina, of serving wild animals, including 'raccoons, possums, and skunks,' in a claim that spread rapidly online before being challenged by other users. The allegation, made without supporting evidence, triggered intense backlash, raised food safety fears, and placed the restaurant at the centre of a viral storm despite no official findings backing the claim.
