I couldn't believe it when I saw the dish cloth. Someone in the kitchen put this in the packet, sealed it up and put it out to go to a customer.

Martin Holmes’ wife immediately went back to the McDonald’s in question and reported the matter. The food chain reacted very apologetically, along with offering the family food vouchers to be used in the future.

Someone has made the decision to fold the cloth neatly and place it into the packaging. I have never seen anything like it and never heard of anything similar before.

The matter has been fully investigated with the food premises. Investigations are now complete and the complainant is satisfied with the outcome and with the Department’s response.

A McDonald's spokesperson also offered their apology for the restaurant failing to meet its internal quality standards. It seems that for now, the matter has been resolved and hopefully, no other families will receive the same terrible surprise with their McDonald's order.
