According to domestic news reports, a McDonald's intern in the U.S. on July 14 this year stumbled upon a moldy "cream tray" inside their ice cream machine, accompanied by a sour rotting smell. The manager explained that the ice cream sells well in the summer, so he didn't have time to clean it up, and he wasn't allowed to do so. The next day, the manager fired him. The intern was so upset that he posted a related photo blast on Twitter, whereupon the internet was abuzz.?

When I first saw someone retweeting a related self-published article in my circle of friends, I realized the title was déjà vu. See a lot of people forwarding the title "McDonald's ice cream you still eat later?" This kind of article. There were also replies that said, "McDonald's and KFC have both had incidents! Luckily I only eat Tex-Mex!" ?

And then there are articles that say, "McDonald's stock has been severely impacted, evaporating $100 million in market value in an hour, leaving countless investors with their pants down! McDonald's is not working! The CEO saw the situation organization held an internal crisis meeting, but also a serious put a picture of the speech ...... is not a feeling of good serious look, McDonald's seems to be powerless to return to the sky! If it's really for putting cream on it, would people not be able to eat it? The ice cream is so white and this tray is so green, even if you don't eat it visually it will be broken. At this point, some people were puzzled, McDonald's company came out and issued a statement: "This tray is actually called a "clean drip tray", is used to take the lubricant when the machine is running, and is completely isolated from the milk pulp, and does not touch the food at all."

Domestic McDonald's also made a media statement to ensure that there are no hygiene issues with the food served on Chinese soil.

The ranks of disinformation followed in time, pointing out that the picture of the stock losing money was faked, and that it was actually rising, and that the picture of the CEO speaking was real, but it was just announcing results, not holding an internal crisis meeting. It turned out that most of these domestic reports were untrue, and that someone was maligning consumers!

It seems like this makes McDonald's okay, but if you think about it, is it possible for mold to develop without direct contact with food? If we go by this argument, isn't it true that the parts that touch the food are clean on the line, and the rest of the place can be dirty and messy? Since you can't eat it in your mouth anyway, you don't have to clean the machines regularly? Consumers pay more attention to the environment in which the food is made than the taste of the food, and if it's produced in a garbage dump, I can't eat it even if it's made to look as beautiful as a heavenly fairy.

Some media outlets have actually said that people are perhaps more concerned about flavor and price, and that health and hygiene are not at the top of the list. If they're not being paid to say things that are not in good conscience, they're just too uninformed to know what a black workshop is.

After the incident, McDonald's China headquarters has raided a portion of the restaurant, and no similar situation was found, and all the indicators of the ice cream equipment are in line with McDonald's safety standards.

In fact, companies like McDonald's are still quite strict in their control of food safety, and he has a set of fixed cleaning procedures. According to the reaction of students who have worked at McDonald's and KFC, they will have these machines fully sterilized once a day after work, and the kind of situation mentioned in the news will not happen at all, unless there is something wrong with the managers of that restaurant.

Instead, some of the so-called star-rated hotel hotels in China, we should not let down our guard, like the four-star hotel staff on the big not wash their hands on the start of stacking napkins in a glass cup of this kind of move are seen with their own eyes. I hope that all the catering industry awareness of health and safety issues can reach a certain height!
