As if McDonald’s ingredients weren’t already bad enough, a customer at a location in Cambridge, England, recently posted a video to Twitter showing live maggots wriggling around in a ketchup dispenser.

McDonald’s UK issued a reply to her original tweet with the video, asking for details so the company could investigate immediately:
Hi Isabella, I’m very sorry to see this happened. So we can investigate, can you please send us a DM and let me know which restaurant this was and the time of your visit? Our teams will then be able to look into this for you immediately.

“Our condiment area and dispensers should be checked for cleanliness every day and we are looking into what happened here,” a spokesperson said.1
McDonald’s underwent a similar ordeal last year when an employee posted images of a filthy McFlurry machine at a U.S. location, drawing disgust from the Twittersphere. Last year in the U.K., multiple fast food chains, including McDonald’s locations, were found to have ice contaminated with fecal matter.
