A New Zealand woman posted on Facebook about finding a needle in fries purchased at McDonald’s but it later emerged the offending pin was one of her own.
According to the NZ Herald, in a now deleted post Ash Te Weri warned people after she found the sharp object in her food.
The woman also contacted McDonald’s who raised the incident with local police.
The NZ Herald reports:
“The company also helped in the investigation, including providing CCTV camera footage.
“Police who went to Te Weri’s home found a distinctive packet of 20 needles, with one missing.
“They were confident the missing needle was the same one found within the food and the incident was all ‘an honest mistake’, Detective Inspector Ross McKay says.
“‘The woman did the right thing reporting this incident, as did the business. There was no malicious intent here.’”
