A Sydney woman claims she found a small bar of metal in a McDonald’s burger that very easily could have been eaten by her three-year-old niece.
Ada Teaupa discovered the metal inside a chicken patty, purchased from a store in Cartwright on Thursday.

She told 7NEWS.com.au the discovery was frightening, particularly since her young niece ordered the same burger.
“The first burger I grabbed I would have offered to her, but she said she didn’t want it yet,” Teaupa said.
“It could have been her biting into it.”
She says she bit down on the Chicken ‘n’ Cheese burger and felt a sharp pain in her tooth.
“I felt my tooth bite into something hard and thought ‘oh no this is glass’,” she said.
She took the food back to the McDonald’s, where she says the confused manager refunded her and offered her a replacement burger, which she said she had lost the appetite for.
A McDonald’s spokesman has told 7NEWS.com.au the fast-food chain will investigate the apparent contamination.
“We are disappointed that this has happened,” he said.
“We take food safety very seriously and have strict processes and systems in place.
“An investigation is currently underway with the restaurant, and we encourage the customer to contact us to help us to investigate fully.”
