The restaurant owners received their fine at Mid Sussex Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, May 30 2012. The owners entered a guilty plea to a charge under section 14 of the Food Safety Act 1990 after a small metal bar, which appears to have been used to secure the syrup flavouring line, was found in a customer’s caramel milkshake in April 2011.
McDonald’s Restaurant’s Limited was fined £6,000 and ordered to pay £5,900 costs plus the standard £15 victim surcharge.
Cllr Ken Trussell, Cabinet Member for Environmental Services, said: “Our environmental health officers are here to protect the public. They will enforce the highest standards of food hygiene from every food outlet whether it be a small, local cafe or part of a multinational food chain.”
