You want a maggot with that McDonald’s?

An Auckland, New Zealand, healthcare worker has been left ‘disgusted’ after finding a maggot in her McDonald's burger box.

Linda MacDonald had just finished eating an Angus Burger Combo, which she bought from the Pt Chevalier McDonald's, when a colleague she shared the burger with pointed out something "wiggling" in the box.

The 59-year-old grandmother spat out her remaining mouthful and ran to the toilet to throw up.

"It was awful," she said. "They offered me McDonald's vouchers, and I told them:

'No way am I ever going to set foot in there again'. The cheek of it - it's so wrong."

McDonald's NZ boss Mark Hawthorne said he did not believe the maggot came from within the restaurant. It was dead when the company conducted tests.

I have heard about this over the day today and have been thinking ewwwww!!!! I go to that McDonalds (Pt Chev where the maggot was found) about 3 times a week on my way home from work and i buy my kids Mcdonalds from there most weekends. My daughter is 9 years old and LOVES her happy meals! She heard about this at school and said "Daddy, i dont want any more McDonalds, they have fly eggs in them". I feel kind of sad cause although i wasnt really a fan my daugher loved going there.....not anymore!! Sad simon :(
