Something Screwy in McDonald's Apple Pie

A Queens woman has just joined the growing family of New Yorkers who've found foreign objects in their fast food. Last week a man found a serrated knife in his Subway sandwich, now a 25-year-old Julisa Caba says she discovered a metal screw when she bit into a McDonald’s apple pie. A Health Department spokesman tells the Daily News, “The McDonald's [on 21st Street in Astoria] will receive a full sanitary inspection, with additional focus spent on the possible source of the screw.” Franchise owner Michael Giunta may also be in trouble for failing to factor in the screw when displaying the apple pie’s calorie info.

I ate some fast food recently and found all this disgusting sodium in it. Do I get to sue? Or do I suffer quietly like hundreds of millions of other people?

When I was waitressing, I once served a salad with a large piece of metal in it. I had made the salad and did not add any extras. I think a piece of the fridge fell into it while it was chilling. So mistakes like that can be innocent. Although once I dipped someone's silverware in the toilet cuz they were giving me a rough time!

DOH!

[2] is right. What idiot at DOH thinks they make those apple pies on site? It was probably made somewhere four states away, well out of NYC DOH jurisdiction.

Had it happen to me at a diner on the west side once in a chili-burger. Luckily it fell out after a bite and onto a plate. They threw out the batch of chili and the problem was solved. No harm, no lawsuit.

Don't eat at McDonald and this wouldn't happen.

She's lying. She heard the Subway knife guy is going to sue for a large amount and now she wants to cash in. Happens all the time when one incident like that get s reported.
