Maggots in McDonald's Curry Sauce

The following is a forwarded e-mail:


FYI ... especially for those staying around Compasspoint ... Gotcha ...

I went to the outlet at Compasspoint on 3 Sep 08 at about 10pm. I ordered 2
Double Cheeseburger and a 9 Pcs Chicken Nuggets. After which I asked for
Curry Sauce and Chilli Sauce to take away.

When i got home, which was a short 2 mins ride, TO MY HORROR, when i opened
the packet of curry sauce, i was greeted with a 'smell' and there were many
tiny maggots crawling inside with a portion of the curry sauce which have
turned black and harden and possibly rotting.

I wrote in to feedback to Macdonalds the same night, and this morning (4
Sep) i had a call from a Business Manager apologising for this encounter,
the first thing she asked was if i had kept the packet of curry sauce! The
maggots were crawling out, obviously i had it disposed as soon as i took
the photos, and in our conversation she also mentioned that this is not
isolated to the outlet at Compasspoint! It was island wide as it could be a
supplier problem. I think it is ridiculous! She also told me there were a
few complaints already.

Shouldn't they stop giving out curry sauce while pending investigation? It
was 'fortunate' for me that the rotting and maggots were visible. For those
packets which have not turned black may have maggots swimming in the sauce
which is not known to the consumer. I asked her if they do check the expiry
date of the sauces, she mentioned that the turnover for curry sauce is very
high thus unlikely it would hit past the expiry date. Then my question is,
if it is not even past its expiry date and it is rotting with maggots,
what's going on???

This just serves as a warning to fellow Macdonalds consumers to watch out
before dipping your food into curry sauce, you may not know what is
swimming and growing in there...
