McDonald’s leaves a family with raw taste

■ Food chain serves mother, daughter uncooked chicken

-

The public is playing a proactive role and exposing sales of adulterate­d food on social media. After Karachi Bakery’s spoilt chocolates came to light, another video from McDonald’s Kharkhana branch has gone viral, where a mother and daughter were served raw meat in a burger. The frustrated diner posted a picture of it online on Wednesday.

The diner said in the video, “While we were eating, it was noticed that the food did not taste normal and I tried looking into the patty and I was disgusted to see that the chicken was uncooked and it’s raw. Thank God my daughter did not eat it completely.”

Raw chicken can contain bacteria and cause stomach ache. The video tagged officials from the GHMC, though the Kharkhana area falls under the Secunderab­ad Cantonment Board and not the GHMC.
