A Long Island man who purchased a Burger King Mac N' Cheese meal for his 6-year-old daughter yesterday says there was "something disgusting in there." (Besides the macaroni and the cheese.) Phil Collura of Rockville Centre tells CBS 2 that after buying the food product for his child at the drive-through, she told him it "tasted funny." And at the bottom of the mac n' cheese cup was what looked like a crushed pill! The girl was taken to a hospital for observation, and Nassau County police say the forensic evidence bureau is analyzing the substance. A police source tells Newsday, "It is unknown at this time if the child ingested any part of the substance." Coming as this does on the heels of the Domino's employees' gross-out video, it's unsurprising the King went into crisis management mode quickly, issuing this statement last night: "Burger King Corp. and its franchisee is aware of this situation and is investigating the matter. As a precaution, the restaurant has removed the product," which is produced by Kraft.





Phil Collura of Rockville Centre needs to learn how to cook a box of Kraft for his 6-year old daughter. A pill is one of the least disgusting thing you could hide in BK mac 'n cheese.
i didn't know you could get mac and cheese at burger king. that sounds delish.
I know! How have I been missing out on this?
We actually live in a world in which people will pay a fast-food joint to prepare Kraft Mac n' Cheese for them.
Also, of all the places to find the weird substance—the mac'n'cheese!
Burger King is just vile...
I'd take my complaint to the King.
Maybe it was the King...he is pretty creepy.
Rule #1
If your grandmother would not recognize it as food then don't eat it!
un-cooked pasta could look like a pill.
Or it could be prozac
I'm with you, Mrguy. I had no idea BK served mac and cheese. Kraft, no less! Must get on that.
Take it easy, Del Signore. This ain't Chowhound.
Should've had the Whopper Jr.
