Tooth fragments found in McMuffin

KANAZAWA -- Pieces of solid objects found in a McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwich at McDonald's Kanazawa-Arimatsu shop, turned out to be bits of human tooth, the local public health center announced Thursday.

The Kanazawa public health center, which received an official report from the restaurant chain's head office in Tokyo, said there were three pieces of broken teeth, measuring from four to eight millimeters long, found in a McMuffin served this August. The customer noticed them after he had his first bite.

While McDonald's Company (Japan) Ltd. investigated both the factory in Aichi Prefecture where the muffin was cooked, and the company in the United States where the sausage was processed, they could not identify the reason for the pieces getting into the food.

The company spokesperson for their Tokyo headquarters said that they will work hard to serve products that their customers can enjoy eating.
