3rd October 2026 – (Hong Kong) A customer who bought a McDonald’s salad reported finding an insect nestled among the lettuce, dressing and bacon bits when the container was opened, according to images and comments shared on social media. The post quickly drew attention, with some users jokingly referring to the discovery as “extra protein” while others raised concerns about kitchen hygiene and fresh‑produce handling.
The diner initially speculated the vegetables might have been grown with minimal pesticides, but later remarks suggested the creature appeared to be an earwig rather than a common leaf pest.
