Mystery solved:

The finger that a woman claimed she found in a bowl of Wendy's chili was severed in the tailgate of a truck during a work accident, an employee of an asphalt company said. A worker with Lamb Asphalt Maintenance told the San Francisco Chronicle that a laborer lost the tip of his finger five months ago. At the time, both men were working with the husband of Anna Ayala, the woman suspected of planting a severed finger in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's in San Jose, Calif.
