What had looked like a lizard on the inside of a Sausage McMuffin patty is actually chicken blood vein, according to initial results of a lab test conducted by McDonald's.
The matter surfaced after a photo that showed a tail-like object sticking out of the patty went viral on the Internet.
However, the fast food chain says that the 'tail' was actually a chicken blood vein, reported The Straits Times.
Kevin Lim, senior communications manager at McDonald's, said: "The vein is white in colour because of the Halal slaughtering process where blood had to be drained."
He added that the lab report has been shared with the relevant authorities. The restaurant's chicken sausage patties are made from minced dark and white chicken meat and are imported from Malaysia. "We have also traced back the product's production process and no product from the same batch had any quality issues reported," he said.
We're glad that's been sorted out.

It's sometimes best not to know what you are eating.
