This isn’t anybody’s idea of a loaded baked potato.

A woman from Kentucky is reportedly suing Outback Steakhouse after she allegedly swallowed a shard of glass that was served in her sweet potato — but a representative for Outback tells Fox News that the company found "no evidence" of how the glass could have possibly been in her food.

Angela Holland claims the incident took place on July 4, 2018, at an Outback Steakhouse location in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., the Sun News reports.

After taking a bite of her potato and swallowing the glass, Holland claims a manager told her it “likely came from the glass jars that the brown sugar was kept in underneath the heat lamps in the restaurant kitchen,” per a copy of the lawsuit shared with ABC 15.

The lawsuit alleges that Holland suffered injuries and required medical treatment as a result of the defendants’ “negligent, reckless, willful and grossly negligent acts,” the court documents read, per ABC 15.

A representative for Bloomin’ Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse, told Fox News on Thursday afternoon that it was not aware of the customer's lawsuit, but has investigated the claim nonetheless.

“We take these matters seriously. The safety of our customers is our highest priority," said  The company has not seen the litigation you refer to but we are familiar with the matter. As we do with any quality or safety issue, we thoroughly investigated the claim at the time and there was no evidence of broken glass that could have made its way into our food.”
