A classic meal from fast food giant McDonald's turned into a horrifying ordeal for a woman who claims that she found a baby tooth in chicken nuggets.
The mother who goes by itsdemi90 on TikTok and has four children was appalled at the sight.
Demi, who is from the US, said in her video that her six-year-old child bit into something 'hard' while eating chicken nuggets.
Once she discovered the tooth, she presumed it had fallen out of her daughter's mouth. However, her child's teeth were still intact.
"I am sick to my stomach...I have heard the rumours and I still took my kids to go eat at McDonald's. I took my girls to get a Happy Meals and got a 10 piece (chicken nuggets) for my six-year-old. She bit down into one of her chicken nuggets and she said she hurt her teeth. I was looking at it and I pulled this out," she said tearily.
Demi proceeded to show what she got out of the nugget and went on to say that her daughter handed it to her and she 'freaked out' because she assumed that her child's tooth had fallen out.
"Baby, where is your tooth? What happened? How did you lose it? It's not her tooth y'all. This is not my baby's tooth," she pointed at the package. Demi emphasised that what she had held was indeed a child's tooth. "This is disgusting, and this is what we eat and what we are feeding our kids."
A number of TikTokers urged Demi to contact law enforcement or get a forensic test and a lawyer. Others recounted their own eerily similar experiences. Conspiracies of the fast-food chain having human flesh in their meat also popped up.
In June of 2021 Reuters reported that McDonald’s human meat accusations at the time had come from a satirical article.
"Posts sharing information that McDonald's uses human meat in its products are not founded in fact. The claim appears to have stemmed from a satirical article. A Google search with the language used in the posts reveals an article published on the website Huzlers. The publication is labeled as satire," Reuters wrote.
