A man who bought a coffee from a McDonald\u2019s outlet claimed he swallowed a dead moth and spat out another after taking a sip, saying that he felt \u201csick\u201d after the incident.<\/p>\n

Facebook user Goh Yong Wei posted about the incident on July 25<\/a>, saying that he had bought breakfast from the McDonald\u2019s outlet at a petrol station along Havelock Road.<\/p>\n

In the post, Goh said that he was \u201cin shock\u201d and felt \u201csick\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s probably a moth that I swallowed, another moth that rolled in my mouth and spat out,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Photos showed an insect \u2014 roughly the size of a fingertip \u2014 soaked in coffee, resting on a coffee cup lid.<\/p>\n

In an update on the evening of July 26, Goh said that McDonald\u2019s offered him $50 as a gesture of goodwill.<\/p>\n

Goh, however, replied: \u201cI\u2019d rather start documenting this content goldmine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Restaurant apologises, issues full refund<\/h2>\n

A McDonald\u2019s spokesperson told Stomp that the company is aware of the incident and apologised for the customer\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that a full refund has been issued to the customer, and an inspection by a pest control contractor found no signs of pest activity.<\/p>\n

Staff members have also been reminded to remain vigilant throughout the food and beverage preparation process.<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, the Singapore Food Agency confirmed that it is looking into the matter.<\/p>\n

In June, a customer said he found a screw in his green tea order from a McDonald\u2019s outlet at Nex.<\/a><\/p>\n
