Item#: 3464

Containment Class: neutralized

Secondary Class: none

Disruption Class: none

Risk Class: none

An SCP-3464 instance during its transformation, as photographed by Agent Orenda.

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3464 are kept in a cold storage unit at Site-201. As instances display no further anomalous properties and no new instances have appeared, containment is focused on the suppression of information about SCP-3464's anomalous nature.

Mobile Task Force Delta-13 (“Undead Bread Redemption”) is implanted within Toronto Public Health to assess irregularities in bread production and preparation in the city of Toronto, Canada.

Description: SCP-3464 was a large quantity of garlic bread disseminated in Toronto food service establishments from April–September 2018. Foundation operatives have presently recovered 449 instances.

Each SCP-3464 instance was baked with ingredients typical of garlic bread, such as parsley, mozzarella cheese, and garlic shavings. Instances varied in mass from a 200-g slice to a 2-kg loaf.

The anomalous property of each SCP-3464 instance manifested when a restaurant patron received it as part of their meal. After being served, each instance would newly generate garlic bread and expand in size by a factor of 10. Each instance then vocalized for several minutes, with the voice of acclaimed voice actor Don LaFontaine, about the negative impacts of food waste.

An excerpt from one such vocalization is as follows.

In a world, where we could have our cake and eat it too, we savoured every bite. Now, the stakes have risen, and we eat our final meal alone. Every day, we face hunger. Paranoia. Shortage. And the most horrifying struggle of all: Sharing. With our final feast fast approaching, we look to you as the last line of defence. Take the bite or suffer the consequences.

Establishments responsible for distributing SCP-3464 typically discovered a loss of organic waste proportional to the amount of generated bread. Patrons consuming the bread were unaware of this. No patrons are recorded to have experienced adverse anomalous effects after consumption. About 15% of these patrons, however, reported feeling pressured against wasting food for the next month.

INCIDENT 3464-450-KERALA

NOTE: On 27 September 2018, the 450th instance of SCP-3464 was discovered in an Olive Garden restaurant in downtown Toronto.

A discovery log, compiled from the restaurant's surveillance system and testimonies from patrons and Olive Garden staff, is as follows.

[BEGIN LOG | 01:26 PM]

«01:26:» Two persons (designated Kerala-1 and 2) wearing grey hooded cloaks enter the restaurant. Thirty patrons are present in various stages of dining.

«01:28:» An attendant directs the pair to a table near the restaurant's centre and offers a menu. They decline.

«01:29:» K-1 orders a pajata1 seasoned with basil and shredded bay leaves. K-2 orders flame-broiled capretto2 cooked in benzoin oil and seasoned with black pepper and asafoetida spice. The pair also orders “sempiternal garlic bread.”

«01:39:» The attendant returns, with two dishes and a loaf of garlic bread atop a platter. The two dishes, however, do not exist in any Olive Garden restaurant worldwide and contain herbs used in sacrificial rituals. Kitchen surveillance footage reveals the dishes, alongside the bread, spontaneously appeared on a counter in the wait station.

The garlic bread is designated SCP-3464-450.

«01:41:» K-2 moves the dishes to the table's centre. With Tabasco sauce, K-1 circumscribes the dishes with a thaumaturgical summoning circle and places SCP-3464-450 at its edge. The two dishes, acting as a ritualistic offering to the garlic bread, give off steam and disappear.

The bread expands; the table collapses beneath.

«01:42:» SCP-3464-450 expands to fill most of the room.

«01:43:» Field Thaumaturge Δ-7 — a tactical food and safety enforcement operative working with MTF-Δ-13 from Site-201 — breaches the restaurant and orders patrons to evacuate.3

K-1 shouts at patrons to consume the garlic bread, and in fear, some comply.

«01:45:» SCP-3464-450 radiates a vibrant blue as patrons eat it.

«01:46:» Patrons who have consumed the garlic bread (11 adults and four children) collapse — SCP-3464-450 absorbs their Élan-Vital Energy (EVE).4

Unaffected patrons and Olive Garden staff rush outside. FT-Δ7 vocalizes containment incantations.

«01:47:» K-2 unpockets and unfastens a vial of crimson liquid while uttering Latin incantations. A summoning ritual takes place.

FT-Δ7 grabs K-2 by the collar but is thrown several metres across the restaurant and into a wall. As she recovers, she identifies her assailant: The body of a collapsed patron under evident necromantic control.

Other collapsed patrons animate and stumble through tables and chairs toward FT-Δ7.

«01:49:» FT-Δ7 works to prevent civilian injury. With her hands, she generates specific kinetoglyphs5 and returns EVE to their rightful owners.

«01:51:» K-2 summons an incorporeal Tartarean entity of unknown typology.

«01:52:» The entity manifests within SCP-3464-450. K-1 and K-2 consume the garlic bread; it is unknown what significance this ritual has.

«01:53:» FT-Δ7 is successful in returning 15 patrons to their bodies.

As K-1 and K-2 continue consumption, they convulse and froth at the mouth.

«01:54:» After returning the final patron, FT-Δ7 attempts an exorcism to banish the entity.

SCP-3464-450 expands into the street, demolishing the building in the process. The instance grows arachnid appendages and releases corrosive olive oil. Civilians flee the scene.

«01:55» To aid in the exorcism, FT-Δ7 sacrifices her own EVE.

«02:00:» K-1 and K-2 disappear into the garlic bread mass.

SCP-3464-450 explodes; flaming garlic bread showers the Yonge–Dundas Square.

[END LOG | 02:01 PM]

CLOSING REMARKS: A Foundation media cover-up team, implanted in Olive Garden, is charged with maintaining the guise of SCP-3464 being an elaborate social experiment conducted to raise awareness about food waste.

On 13 October, Foundation investigators confirmed SCP-3464 represented the work of Dutch para-chef Ignaas Markus (POI-4312), a known demonologist specializing in demonic cuisine.

Ignaas is an Ambrose Restaurants (GOI-116) chef and rising figure in the North American anomalous restaurant scene. Because of his extensive use of infernal entities, other entities and groups engaging in paranormal manipulation and sabotage have repeatedly targeted him. The hijacking of SCP-3464-450 by an unknown rogue faction is the latest in a string of attacks against Ignaas' cooking.
