[LINK] Condom found in seven-year-old's McDonald's meal

[Adam Todd]

3rd last paragraph should be enough for anyone to NEVER go to a 
McDonalds store again.

The Burger had been on DISPLAY and then sold to the customer?   I 
wonder if she got a floor model discount?

My goodness if a Condom was found on the DISPLAY burger, what happens 
when Terrorists discover the ease of peppering display burgers with 
Anthrax or Small Pox?


I don't really care if it was a condom, a smilie sticker, plastic off 
a cheese wrap, the very fact that it was a "DISPLAY" food and was 
SOLD to a customer says a hell of a lot about the quality and 
attitudes of the store and it's staff and sadly reflects across the 
entire franchise.

A New Zealand mother says she was shocked and disgusted that a condom 
had been found in her seven-year-old daughter's McDonald's meal.

Louise Whitaker from Wellington said her daughter Maia was with her 
sister April and her grandparents at a store when the condom was 
found on Tuesday night.

She said her mother discovered the opened condom after her daughter 
ordered a Happy Meal.

"I was just disgusted after I heard about it," Whitaker said.

"I was shocked. A seven-year-old ... I don't think she actually saw 
it, so she doesn't understand the whole thing. I am just lucky my 
mother discovered it."

She said the condom was returned before her mother checked whether or 
not it had been used.

McDonald's replaced the meal.

She said the fast food restaurant had not given her a formal apology 
nor explained how the condom came to be in the meal.

Whitaker said she had heard from a journalist that the Happy Meal had 
been on public display and could have had the condom put in by a 
mischief-maker before it was given to her daughter.

"We have been overseas recently and we always went to McDonald's, 
thinking they had an international policy where everything is safe 
and done the right way. This has just sort of changed my opinion," 
Whitaker said.

Comment was being sought from McDonald's in New Zealand.
