A six-year-old girl named Maddie nearly choked to death after eating a chicken nugget that contained a surgical mask.
The incident occurred on Tuesday in Aldershot, Hampshire, in the United Kingdom, and began to go viral as the days passed.
According to the BBC, Laura Arber, mother of the victim, bought her daughter a box at a McDonald’s store.
When she arrived home with the order, the girl and her brothers decided eat immediately. It was at that moment that she started making sounds and realized that something was wrong.
“I had to put my finger in his mouth and induce vomiting and it came out all stained blue, “he said.
But it was not the only contaminated piece. According to LadBible, of the 20 units he bought, a second nugget also appeared with a chinstrap inside.
According to the portal, Arber immediately called the store, but ended up returning to the store to talk with the store manager, who told him that the nuggets had not been cooked on the spot.
As he accused, did not receive any kind of apology And he was shocked that the store didn’t stop serving nuggets to its customers.
“The worst part was that they kept serving them. Before I left I asked him: ‘Are you going to continue serving them? And they continued and that was the most shocking thing for me, “he recalled.
But the company finally came up against criticism and apologized for the problem.
In addition, he stated that “food safety is of the highest importance to them” and that the company places great emphasis on QA.
“As soon as we realized the problem we open an investigation with the supplier and we have taken action to ensure that any product in this batch is removed from the restaurants, ”said a McDonald’s spokeswoman.
