AIBU to be scared of what I found in my McDonald’s (pic 🤢)

[whatisthisinmyburger]

Had McDonald’s tonight, ordered the McPlant burger as usual and found this inside it! Does anyone have any clue what it could be?

Really hoping there’s a non gross explanation for this, it’s really put me off!

OMG I found the exact same thing in my carton of Tropicana last week.

the brown wrinkled bit was very hard (harder than a nut)

Very likely a sprouting seed - looks scarier than it is.

No idea but I'm never eating a McPlant again.

The brown bit bit looks like a bit of meat (sorry OP) and the white/green bit looks like lettuce. You definately need to fish it out and contact mcdonalds though.

Or um... www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/07/25/woman-bites-lizard-mcdonalds-burger-not-loving-compensation/

Sprouted black bean?

The white stuff (looks like mix of lettuce and onions) on the left of the burger along with the vegan sauce.

OP has obv posted a tiny cross section of the burger and what could be a mix of onions, lettuce, sauce. And said it was between the bun and burger. Cross section of anything in close up looks a lot stranger than the actual thing. It's pretty deceptive tbh.

That's white stuff looks nothing like lettuce and onion.

Plant based is supposed to contain no animal products. That's it.
No one is going to McDonalds for a healthy meal, and veganism isn't about saving the planet.

is that really healthy! Lots of oils and powders.

Part of a plant

Looks like pea roots that have been chopped off short, and whatever they were attached to in the ground.

What would you say that is, just by looking at it?

(It's a cross section zoomed of the official burger photo -from the side but imagine you were seeing it from the top)

We do perception tests like this at work - onions and lettuce and a white sauce in a full photo, aren't always recognisable in a cross section zoomed.

That's a fuzzy image

I have never eaten a filet a fish and now am so glad with my decision. 😳

🤢I think I will stick to meat, at least we know beef burgers are full of ass holes and ball sacks.

mcdonalds is pretty grim processed shit, when I eat it I try not to dissect it.

I would have kept it and reported it to environmental health if I were you, they might have wanted it for testing, or at least to complain to McDonald's.

Cod is full of worms. Don't ever Google candling!

Exactly - you can see how context, angle, dimensions and clarity of photo impact what you're seeing. OP's photo is a BITE of a burger with something on it. Why on worth would you compare a full sized anything to a cross section?? This is exactly why social media is so deceptive because people don't realise that cross sections do not look anything like it would in a whole.

A wart with roots.

@wizzywascal

I have to admit I really don't understand what you are on about with cross sections but that pic OP posted looks nothing like lettuce.

Urgh - this is what chicken nuggets contains:

R: Chicken Breast Meat (45%), Water, Vegetable Oils (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Maize Flour, Allergen Ingredient: WHEAT Flour (contains Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Starch, Allergen Ingredient: WHEAT Semolina, Breadcrumb (Allergen Ingredient: WHEAT Flour (contains Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Salt), Natural Flavourings (contain Allergen Ingredient: CELERY), Allergen Ingredient: WHEAT Gluten, Potassium Chloride, Dried Glucose Syrup, Salt, Raising Agents (Sodium Carbonates), Spices (contain Allergen Ingredient: CELERY), Dextrose.

Any vegan food trying to emulate meat is going to be a mix of stuff. It’s just plant based stuff anyway and anyone going to Mac Donald’s isn’t going for a healthy meal.

Ugh remember that one with the eyelashes in the mince.

Anyway I think it's either a bit of connective tissue or a sprouted bean.

Wish I hadn’t been nosy but I HAD to look 🤢

😂😂😂😂😂

OP’s picture is very clear. Your fuzzy picture makes me want to scrub my eyeballs.
