A 4-year-old boy has found a bone in a chicken nugget from McDonald’s in Brighton Hill.

On Monday afternoon Sarah Early and her husband treated the family to a McDonald’s from Brighton Hill Retail Park, Basingstoke.

Sarah ordered a Big Mac, fries and a box of 20 chicken nuggets for the family on Uber Eats so that her one-year-old and four-year-old could share the food with her and her husband.

She said: “We gave the boy some nuggets and our four-year-old was eating away and he stopped after having one or two and said daddy what’s this and then he showed us the bone.

“We obviously went into panic mode because our one-year-old was also eating them.”

Once they checked both boys were okay, Sarah took pictures of the bone and the nugget it was found in.

She explained: “I kept the bone and then phoned Brighton Hill McDonald’s up.

“I asked to speak to a manager but all she really said was sorry and offered me vouchers which I obviously don’t want.”

“She also offered a refund for the meal but I felt like that wasn’t really enough.”

Sarah has since raised the complaint with McDonald’s customer service team who asked her to send them the bone so that their suppliers can work out how it got past their quality checks to prevent something like this from happening again.

“I don’t want to part with the bone because I’ve seen a few other stories where people have taken things in and then they have been lost.

“I don’t want them claiming it wasn’t received like other cases I have read about online.”

A McDonald’s Spokesperson has said:We are sorry to hear about this customer’s experience.

"Food safety is of the utmost importance to us and we place great emphasis on quality control, following rigorous standards to avoid any imperfections.

"When the matter was brought to the attention of our staff, we apologised, and asked the customer to return the item so we could investigate further.

"We understand that the customer is currently in conversation with our Customer Services team.”
