Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-9123 is to be contained in a sealed, grease-resistant containment locker at Site-███. The locker must be lined with non-absorbent stainless steel and maintained at a temperature below 4°C to slow regenerative activity.
No personnel are permitted to consume SCP-9123 under any circumstances. Handling is restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher and must be conducted using disposable tools. All tools that come into contact with SCP-9123 are to be incinerated after use.
A supply of SCP-9123 grease (designated SCP-9123-G) is to be stored on-site at all times. In the event of an SCP-9123 Consumption Event (see Description), SCP-9123-G is to be immediately applied to high-value assets, personnel, or infrastructure to prevent replacement.
Testing involving deliberate consumption of SCP-9123 is suspended indefinitely following Incident 9123-Δ.
Description:
SCP-9123 is a hamburger of indeterminate origin, composition, and age. Despite extensive testing, SCP-9123 has been found to be structurally identical to a standard fast-food hamburger, including bun, patty, condiments, and packaging residue. SCP-9123 emits a persistent odor described by personnel as “fresh,” “tempting,” and “impossible to ignore.”
SCP-9123 exhibits anomalous regenerative properties. Any portion removed from SCP-9123 will regenerate within approximately 3–5 seconds, restoring SCP-9123 to its original mass and appearance. SCP-9123 has never been observed to spoil, cool, or degrade.
When a bite is taken from SCP-9123, a Consumption Event occurs. During such an event, a single random entity anywhere in the universe is completely erased from existence, including all physical matter, historical records, and causal effects. Immediately following erasure, the removed entity is replaced by a new instance of SCP-9123 at the same spatial coordinates.
Affected entities may include (but are not limited to):
Living organisms
Inanimate objects
Locations
Abstract systems (e.g., organizations, languages)
Probability does not favor scale or relevance; recorded events range from the disappearance of household pets to the replacement of major infrastructure and, in one instance, a previously unknown moon.
The only confirmed method of preventing an entity from being erased during a Consumption Event is to completely coat it in SCP-9123 grease prior to the bite. Entities so treated are consistently ignored by the anomaly, though the grease must remain present at the moment of consumption. Removal of grease negates protection.
Addendum 9123-1: Discovery
SCP-9123 was recovered from a roadside diner that no longer exists. Foundation agents arrived following reports that “everything keeps turning into burgers.” The site was found abandoned, with 37 instances of SCP-9123 occupying booths, kitchen equipment, and nearby vehicles. No biological remains were recovered.
Witness interviews indicate SCP-9123 had “always been on the menu.”
Addendum 9123-2: Incident 9123-Δ
During unauthorized testing, Researcher ████ consumed a second bite of SCP-9123. Immediately afterward, Site-███ lost all records, personnel, and physical evidence relating to Department of Temporal Studies. The department’s former office space now contains a single SCP-9123, wrapped in grease-stained paper.
Further testing was terminated.
Notes:
Despite its appearance, SCP-9123 is not food.
Personnel are reminded that hunger, curiosity, and “just one bite” reasoning have previously resulted in irreversible losses.

Got it. I’ll update the article to Site-64 and make Dr. Lee Wu the Head Researcher, keeping modern SCP Wiki tone and formatting.
Item #: SCP-9123
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-9123 is contained in a sealed, grease-resistant containment locker at Site-64. The locker is lined with non-absorbent stainless steel and maintained at temperatures below 4°C to slow observable regenerative activity.
Access to SCP-9123 is restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher and requires written authorization from the Site-64 Head Researcher, Dr. Lee Wu. Direct contact is prohibited; SCP-9123 is to be manipulated only with disposable tools, which are to be incinerated after use.
A minimum reserve of 20 liters of SCP-9123 grease (SCP-9123-G) is to be maintained in Site-64’s high-priority containment storage. In the event of an SCP-9123 Consumption Event, SCP-9123-G is to be immediately applied to critical personnel, infrastructure, and data storage systems to prevent anomalous replacement.
All testing involving intentional consumption of SCP-9123 is suspended per standing orders issued by Dr. Wu following Incident 9123-Δ.
Description:
SCP-9123 is a hamburger of unknown origin that appears indistinguishable from a commercially produced fast-food hamburger. Composition includes a bun, beef patty, condiments, and grease residue consistent with mass-market food preparation. SCP-9123 continuously emits an odor described by personnel as “fresh,” “appealing,” and “distractingly familiar.”
SCP-9123 regenerates any removed mass within 3–5 seconds, restoring itself to a complete hamburger regardless of the amount removed. SCP-9123 does not cool, decay, or chemically degrade.
When a bite is taken from SCP-9123, a Consumption Event occurs. During such an event, one random entity anywhere in existence is completely erased, including all physical presence, historical records, and causal influence. The erased entity is immediately replaced by a new instance of SCP-9123 at the same location.
Entities affected have included living organisms, inanimate objects, locations, and conceptual constructs such as organizations and information systems. No correlation has been identified between the consumer and the erased target.
The sole confirmed method of preventing erasure is to fully coat the target entity in SCP-9123 grease prior to the Consumption Event. Grease coverage must be uninterrupted at the moment the bite is taken; partial or removed coverage offers no protection.
Addendum 9123-1: Discovery
SCP-9123 was recovered from a roadside diner no longer present on any map or satellite record. Foundation agents were dispatched following civilian reports stating that “everything keeps turning into hamburgers.”
Upon arrival, the diner was abandoned. Thirty-seven instances of SCP-9123 were found occupying seating, kitchen equipment, and nearby vehicles. No human remains were recovered. Menus recovered from the site list a single item, labeled only as “The Burger,” with handwritten notes indicating it had “always been here.”
Incident 9123-Δ
During an unauthorized test at Site-64, Researcher ████ consumed a second bite of SCP-9123. Immediately afterward, all records, personnel, and physical infrastructure associated with ████████████
████ ceased to exist.
The department’s former office space now contains a single instance of SCP-9123, partially wrapped in grease-stained paper.
Following this incident, Dr. Lee Wu issued a site-wide order suspending all consumption-based testing indefinitely.
Closing Note from Head Researcher, Dr. Lee Wu:
SCP-9123 does not act with intent, mercy, or preference. Treating it as a novelty or a joke has already cost us entire systems of knowledge. No one here is allowed to be hungry enough to forget that.
