Bulwell, England – You wake up hungry. You’re in a hurry. You don’t feel like being bothered to scramble up a few eggs. McDonald’s is convenient. You know it’s bad for you, but it’s only one meal. You will definitely go back to eating right tomorrow, but that is then and this is now. Surely one morning of paying homage at the illuminated trough of processed sustenance won’t be the end of the world, will it? Well, for one 32-year-old man in the U.K., it almost was.
On the morning of October 8, Alan Evans found himself seduced by the glow of the nostalgic golden arches. In exchange for £1.99, the father of four received his bacon and egg McMuffin. But unbeknownst to Evans, Ronald McDonald had decided to throw in a complimentary side of super-sized misery.
After tucking in to the McMuffin, Evans was only a few bites in when he decided to add barbecue sauce to his sandwich substitute. Upon further inspection, he realized that the eggs he had just ingested were a moldy green color.
Evans stopped eating immediately, but the damage had already been done. Within a few hours, he began to be sick. He soon collapsed with food McPoisoning and was bedridden for FIVE days.
28-year-old Amanda Seaford eventually felt compelled to call an ambulance because her boyfriend was so ill. Doctors treated Evans with antibiotics, anti-sickness tablets, and an anti-fungal medicine.
“I just couldn’t stop being sick or going to the toilet. I’ve got really bad pains in my stomach,” according to Evans. “Now even looking at McDonald’s on television just makes me feel sick. I should never have contemplated eating a green egg. I just can’t believe I ate it.”
Evans reached out to McDonald’s but was angered by how the fast food retailer handled the poisoning of one of its customers. “I just can’t believe I ate it and all they offered was a free meal, they didn’t even offer money back.”
A McDonald’s spokesperson has said they are investigating the complaint. “The eggs used in our McMuffins are made with real, free-range eggs that are freshly cracked in the restaurant every day by our crew,” the McMinion stated.
Bad press is the last thing McDonald’s needs right now. It was reported earlier this year that 700 McRestaurants were scheduled to close in 2015, and just this week, many franchise owners stated they believe the fast food giant is “facing its final days.”

riiiiight, they crack fresh eggs my ass!
that is the most obviouse lie theu ever tried to get past us. Everyone knows they dont have real eggs. tjey come the same way the burgers to, sliced sticks.
They do crack eggs fresh, the “green” he saw would of been the fat n greasey residue from cooking it on the beef grill without giving it a proper cleaning during the overnight shift this story has been butchered and only half the facts presented to sway public opinion against McDonald’s. I mean boycott it if you have a real reason to but this is biased and loaded.
agreed. Kinda strange how only one person seemed to get food poisoning… What did he eat before going to McDonald’s? … Also most eggs turn green in about a half hour after you cook them, but they should still be edible.
im not saying mcdonalds is good or anything but you are wrong I have seen them crack the eggs..
They actually do crack a real egg for their mcmuffin. Their other breakfast sandwiches are powdered eggs that are solid yellow. The mcmuffin they crack into a metal circle. I know its hard to believe but its true. i was convinced as you were that every sandwich came with the fake eggs
Yup, and from boot camp i remember those carton eggs turning green from heat lamp real fast.
you are stupid, i know for a 100% fact they crack real eggs
Well, I can’t say they use shelled eggs, but it does come in bags of what is essentially that liquid egg stuff you can buy in the dairy section in a carton. I dunno about across the Pond, but having worked for the company (for a thankfully short time), I know neither item comes as a “stick”.
They do crack the eggs in all stores, I know this as I’ve worked there. It’s just folded and scrambled egg which comes as liquid egg. Someone must of put a old one in it for it to have gone mouldy, normally everything from breakfast get washed up straight away and food counted and thrown away. Not saying the foods good for you just I see this as a problem employee.
McDonald’s is an easy target for anyone out there wishing to take them to court, get on the front page of a tabloid or get some money in return. Fact is they know how controlled they are so they’re usually extra careful. Not saying it didn’t happen but I got green eggs for breakfast once served in a London 4 star hotel, so…..
No, they actually do cook their eggs fresh. They crack them open into a round grill mold.then put them into a warmer to await assembly. I’ve worked at McDonald’s as a teenager. I’m not defending that piss poor corporation but you need to educate yourself and not spread incorrect information. That’s all
Just like to clear up to anybody who thinks the eggs come in “sliced sticks” believe it or not they are actually cracked every morning, although i wouldnt go as far to call them fresh. refrence: i am currently a mcdonalds worker who “cracks the eggs”
This is bullshit, Those eggs come fresh, just like you get from the store, Those huge containers with like 250 eggs in it, The solid yellow ones? Those come pre prepared in vacume packing that only holds 12 slices per sleeve, OR its Liquid egg product, this simply means pre shelled egg in 1/4 gallon cartons that get used, no different than that egg beaters shit, For his sandwhich to look like that it would have had to sit a week or so, IDK where he got it, but sure as shit that didnt come out the store.

final days? THANK THE LORD ALMIGHTY…ROT IN HELL McFUCK
I would’ve kept the damn mcmuffin as proof. Dont know if he did but if something looks gross enough that I stop eating it Im keeping it just in case!
love the Mcwriting style
Do they think adding Mc to every word in this article is funny? Should we make fun of the author for having his name on the piece? Or should we make fun of websites for having their website name on the top of their page? Shut the hell up trying to be funny by making fun of something that everybody does.
That Is all
