Vegetarian customers at McDonald's across the UK have reported finding chicken nuggets in meals that are sold as meat-free. The fast-food chain launched its spicy veggie wrap in early January but restaurant staff appear to be struggling with the recipe. Its main ingredient is supposed to be a red pesto vegetarian goujon - customers have been given chicken nuggets instead. It's been happening all over the UK. Twitter users in Liverpool, Birmingham, Kent, Lincoln, Yorkshire, Elgin, London and Bristol have shared their experiences.
Vegetarians have been finding chicken nuggets in their vegetarian wraps as recently as this week, despite flagging the mistake to McDonald's on Twitter throughout January.
McDonald's has issued an apology to customers who have found meat in their meals. "We have a number of procedures in place to avoid inaccurate orders. After we saw that mistakes were being made, we introduced a number of additional measures in our kitchens and communicated with all stores to reduce inaccuracies quickly and effectively. We are disappointed that mistakes are still being made. We never want to disappoint customers, and any inaccuracy is not good enough," it said.
