Is this mould in food??

[Ohdearrr]

Is this mould? Or seasoning? Found inside the chicken skin of a home style chicken burger from McDonald’s. To me it looks like mould but not sure if I’m being paranoid.

I don't think it's mould. Not sure what it is though. Definitely wouldn't eat. Looks disgusting

No - it just looks like gristle.

Is that Donald Trump?

Thanks. It looked quite green in person so I panicked as I’d eaten some before I saw it!

OMG that's looks absolutely awful 😞

I’d say you’d be very very unlikely to find mould in McDonald’s food as they’re really very cautious about dates on things and how long stuff can be open for, and that length of time is much shorter than in any home kitchen! I can’t imagine any meat being on the premises long enough to get mouldy (and I think it’s all frozen anyway).

Wtf is that?!

@hedgehogger1 it was a breaded chicken fillet burger. This was underneath the breaded bit in the chicken skin!

Never had skin on a chicken burger from mcds, so that's weird to start with! Looks foul, would go straight in the bin!

All McDonalds food is delivered frozen and cooked from frozen so it really doesn’t have the opportunity to go mouldy on the premises. It could well be a flaw in the chicken itself if it’s under the coating and in the skin, either a bit of blood/vein that’s got left behind or just skin pigment

I would imagine it’s bruising on the chicken

Looks like the darker meat near a tendon or bone /ligament joint .
Usually I guess they cut those bits out ?

Do you mean chicken flesh OP 😄

What even IS that?

It looks like the hen was bruised.

It's incredible that people even choose to eat that.

@Dancer47 it’s put me off going forward!

@OceanAtTheEnd yes
