A little dated, but still disgusting…

Traces of feces have been found on every single McDonald’s touchscreen swabbed in an investigation by metro.co.uk.
Samples were taken from the new machines that have been rolled out at restaurants across the country – every one of them had coliforms. Senior lecturer in microbiology at London Metropolitan University Dr. Paul Matewele said: ‘We were all surprised how much gut and fecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen machines. These cause the kind of infections that people pick up in hospitals.
Metro.co.uk’s study with the university’s school of human sciences involved swabs taken from eight McDonald’s restaurants. Six in London and two in Birmingham.
The list of bacteria found includes:
- Bacillus
- Coliforms
- Enterobacter
- Enterococcus
- Klebsiella
- Listeria
- Micrococcus
- Proteus
- Pseudomonas
- Staphylococcus
Yeah, I think I’ll just eat at home.
