Looks like UK fast food (called "take-away" by our British cousins) customers are getting a bit more than they paid for when it comes to the ice in their cold drinks, according to the Metro website: 'significant' levels of poo bacteria have been found in the ice at Burger King, McDonald's and KFC.
"Would you like poo-ice with that?
We’re sorry to inform you all that the BBC’s Watchdog show has found traces of faecal matter in the ice of randomly-selected branches of KFC, Burger King and McDonald’s.
Gross.
The show’s investigators checked for coliforms in the drinking water and ice at three branches of McDonald’s, six samples from Burger King, and seven branches of KFC.
There should be zero levels of the bacteria in drinking water.
But – disgustingly – four of the samples of ice from Burger King and five from KFC were found to have ‘significant’ levels of coliforms.
An expert described the revelation as ‘extremely worrying’."
