Fast Food Chain Apologizes After Accidentally Poisoning a Pregnant Woman

Other controversies

But this was not the first time the beloved fast food franchise was involved in a controversial lawsuit. There was a time when the fast food giant had to pull out their salads off their US menu for a disturbing reason. This had affected McDonald’s reputation in the area.

McDonald’s restaurants in Illinois and Iowa had to pull out the salads because of a foodborne illness called cyclosporiasis, which is an intestinal parasite. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, one-fourth of Illinois cases reported eating salads from McDonald’s days before they became ill.
