"The boot was lined with cardboard but nothing else. Not wrapped, not refrigerated. The opportunity for cross-contamination is immense, plus the fact food is stored in the danger zone for temperature," he said.
Red Rooster confirmed to Yahoo News Australia on Friday they have since temporarily closed the Forrestfield store and another location in Waypoint.
The fast food chain said all "potentially impacted has been removed and disposed of".
