SEOUL – An official statement was sent out by the chief executive of McDonald’s Korea on Thursday that expresses her regret over the issue of suspected links between McDonald’s burgers and health hazards.
McDonald’s Korea Managing Director Melanie Joh said in the statement that she regrets the fact that some customers have experienced some ailments after visiting their restaurants, causing a burger panic across the country.
McDonald’s Korea is now planning to take steps in order to improve their food safety procedures in coordination with independent experts and suppliers.
There was a public outcry after an incident at McDonald’s Korea, where the company was sued by a mother whose 4-year-old daughter became sick after eating an undercooked burger patty.
Last month, a group of children also ended up with food poisoning claiming that the McDonald’s Bulgogi Burgers they ate was the culprit.
Afterwards, the company recalled the product from all their stores, without releasing any official statements.
