After visiting McDonald’s Waterlooville branch in Hampshire, Danielle Bailey tells Portsmouth’s daily newspaper, The News she was left “disgusted” after finding what looked like a human tooth inside a chip.

Danielle Bailey said “I had ordered a quarter pounder meal with chips and a drink and while eating I noticed something glistening in the chip I had picked up.”

After speaking to the manager of the McDonalds branch, she was informed it would be sent for testing. She later rung the head office to confirm further action would be taken.

Danielle said: “I received £15 worth of vouchers but I had been given no evidence that there was an investigation”.

“This could be a health and safety risk in their factory and this could be in someone else’s food as well,” adds Danielle.

A McDonalds spokesperson said: “We were sorry to hear about this customer experience.

“Food safety is of the utmost importance to us and we place great emphasis on quality control and follow rigorous standards to avoid any imperfections.”

‘Having been examined and due to production methods of our fries, we do not believe this to have been a tooth.’
