McDonald’s Under Fire After Mop Video Sparks Outrage
A viral video from a McDonald’s in Brisbane, Australia, shows an employee drying a
mop under a heat lamp used for French fries — reportedly at the direction of the restaurant’s manager.
Despite another worker warning of the danger, the employee continued, raising serious hygiene concerns.
McDonald’s Australia called the act “completely unacceptable,”
saying immediate corrective action was taken and stressing that food safety is its top priority.
Public reaction has been furious, with TikTok users demanding the restaurant’s closure and questioning hygiene at other locations.
Health experts warn such behavior could pose real food safety risks and highlight the need for stricter training and enforcement.
The Brisbane branch remains under investigation as customers question what really happens behind the counter.
