McDonald's employee filmed mouse running through bag of burger buns

A former McDonald's employee has filmed a video of what he says is a mouse running around inside a bag of burger buns at the fast food chain. In the stomach-churning clip, the rodent speeds around inside the clear plastic bag of buns, making contact with numerous pieces of bread.

Despite this unsanitary event, according to the former McDonald's employee, bosses at the West Oak Lane branch in Philadelphia ordered workers to brush off the droppings and serve the buns to unsuspecting customers. When Karruim Demaio saw the mouse scurrying around inside the bag, he whipped out his phone and caught the footage in order to expose his former employers.

He said: 'I was going back there to get something else and I heard some rustling, so I turned around, and I look, I seen a mouse inside the bread. Not on top of the package, but inside of the package. That wasn't the first time. That was about the sixth or seventh time. That's what made me like, I got to get video of this.'

Ken Youngblood, the owner of the McDonald's store, said in a statement that the company wanted to investigate the claim to make sure they had 'all the facts'. 'I want my customers to know that I am taking this matter seriously and will immediately address any issues that may exist,' he said. The restaurant in question had already been under fire from the Philadelphia Health Department for 'unacceptable public health conditions'.
