According to domestic news reports, it was an intern at a McDonald's in the United States who happened to find that the "cream tray" in their ice cream machine was moldy and accompanied by a sour smell. The manager explained that the ice cream sold well in summer, so he didn't have time to clean it up and wouldn't let him clean it up. According to the routine development, he was fired the next day. The interns were very upset, so they posted relevant photos on Twitter, and the netizens were boiling. ?
the first time I saw someone forwarding related articles from the media in a circle of friends, I found that the title was familiar. I saw many people forwarding the title "Do you still eat McDonald's ice cream in the future?" This kind of article. Others replied, "McDonald's and KFC have had an accident! Fortunately, I only eat Dicos! " ?
Another article said: McDonald's stock was seriously affected, and its market value evaporated by 111 million US dollars in an hour, leaving countless investors with no shorts! McDonald's is dying! It collapsed! When the CEO saw this, he organized an internal crisis meeting and put a picture of his speech in a serious way ... Does it feel so serious that McDonald's seems to be powerless! It was not until later that someone released the picture of the client. It was disgusting that it was so moldy, but there didn't seem to be any traces of cream on it, and people didn't mention that it was used to put cream! If it is really with cream, people will not eat it? The ice cream is so white and the tray is so green, even if you don't eat it, there will be visual flaws. At this time, some people were puzzled, and McDonald's Company stood up and made a statement: "This tray is actually called" cleaning drip tray ",which is used to accept the lubricant when the machine is running. It is completely isolated from the milk slurry and does not touch food at all."
McDonald's in China also made a media statement to ensure that the food served in China has no hygiene problems.
The team that denied rumors also followed in time, pointing out that the picture of stock loss was false, but it was actually on the rise. The picture of the CEO's speech is true, but it is only announcing the performance, not holding an internal crisis meeting. It turns out that most of these reports in China are untrue, and some people are maliciously guiding consumers! It seems that there is nothing wrong with McDonald's in this way, but think about it carefully, can it be moldy without direct contact with food? According to this statement, is it enough that the parts that come into contact with food are clean, and other places can be messy? Anyway, I can't eat it in my mouth, so the machine doesn't have to be cleaned regularly? Compared with the taste of food, consumers pay more attention to its production environment. If it is produced in the garbage dump, I can't eat it even if it is as beautiful as a fairy.
Some media actually said that people may be more concerned about taste and price, but health and hygiene are not the first priority. If they don't accept money and say that they have no conscience, they have too little knowledge to know what a black workshop is. ? After the incident, McDonald's headquarters in China has raided some restaurants and found no similar situation. All indicators of ice cream equipment meet McDonald's safety standards.
In fact, a company like McDonald's is quite strict about food safety. It has a set of fixed cleaning procedures. According to the students who have worked in McDonald's and KFC, they will sterilize these machines every day after work. The situation mentioned in the news will never happen unless there is something wrong with the manager of that restaurant.
There are some so-called star-rated hotels in China, so don't let your guard down. For example, the staff of a four-star hotel started to fold napkins and put them in a glass without washing their hands after taking a large toilet, which has been seen with their own eyes. I hope that all catering industries can reach a certain level of understanding of health and safety issues!
