What had looked like a lizard on the inside of a Sausage McMuffin
patty is actually chicken blood vein, according to initial results
of a lab test conducted by McDonald's.
The matter surfaced after a photo that showed a tail-like object
sticking out of the patty went viral on the Internet.
However, the fast food chain says that the 'tail' was actually a
chicken blood vein, reported The Straits Times.
Kevin Lim, senior communications manager at McDonald's, said: "The
vein is white in colour because of the Halal slaughtering process
where blood had to be drained."
He added that the lab report has been shared with the relevant
authorities. The restaurant's chicken sausage patties are made from
minced dark and white chicken meat and are imported from Malaysia.
"We have also traced back the product's production process and no
product from the same batch had any quality issues reported," he
said.
