A disgusted McDonald’s customer found green eggs inside her sausage and egg McMuffins but she was told that the color is simply a natural reaction.
The customer, who doesn’t want to be named, went to the Clayton Square McDonald’s and ordered two sausage and egg McMuffin meals, with hot beverages and hash brown.
But when she unwrapped her meal, the customer was shocked to see the eggs looking ‘moldy’ and discolored.
The woman told Liverpool ECHO: “I went to Maccies this morning at 7.30 on my walk to work and got two sausage and egg McMuffins.
“I sometimes take the egg off so I checked the egg,” she added. “It looked blue and mouldy, it had gone green. [The other one] was green too. It was black in the middle.”
A spokesperson for the fast food giant told the local paper that it was “factually and scientifically incorrect to mention the eggs were ‘moldy’ and said the discoloration occurred because of a ‘reaction’ that happens in the meal.
“I took it back and said ‘can I have a word please?’, I wasn’t aggressive or anything,” the customer said.
“I said if a kid was to eat this they wouldn’t be very well. She said ‘when did you order them?’ and I said 7.30 and she said ‘so why have you only come back in now?’
“She said if they sit out they will go blue like that. They offered me a refund.”
The customer added: “Someone else in the queue had the same problem with egg. [The staff member] said they couldn’t sit there for 15 minutes or longer but this lady had only been there about two minutes.
“[The staff member] said she was going to have to speak to the manager to speak to the supplier.”
A spokesperson said to the local paper: “Because we use freshly cracked free-range eggs throughout our breakfast menu, this discolouration is a natural reaction between the hydrogen sulphide in the egg white and the iron in the yolk.
“As soon as the customer made us aware of their concern, we offered a full refund and we recommend they get in touch with our Customer Services Team should they wish to discuss further.”
