In a bizarre situation in England, a six-year-old girl almost choked on eating a chicken nugget from McDonald's. Her mother claimed that it contained a face mask, as per a report in BBC.?
The girl whose name was Maddie, was consuming a Happy Meal which her 32-year-old mom Laura Arber bought from the branch in Aldershot, Hampshire.?
She was able to take the nugget out and said she found a mask.?
"It was a mask, it was absolutely baked into it," she said.?
"I had to put my finger in her mouth to make her sick and it came up all speckled with blue," she added.?
"I couldn't work out what it was but I looked at the box of nuggets and could see something blue sticking out of another one. If I hadn't been in the room I just don't know what could have happened. Just because it says it's a Happy Meal doesn't mean it's safe," she went on to say.?
McDonald's is investigating what happened.?
"As soon as we were made aware of the issue we opened a full investigation with the relevant supplier, and have taken action to ensure any product from this batch is removed from restaurants. We would like to offer a full apology to the customer in question and understand they are currently in conversation with our customer services team," said a spokesman.?
The mother said that she would not eat from McDonald's ever again and neither would her daughter. Meanwhile the branch manager told her the nuggets were not cooked on the premises.?
Be that as it may, there was a case of huge negligence. But for the alertness of the mother, this could have ended in tragedy. The girl had a lucky escape, but someone else may not be as lucky.
