As the viral video of the dead lizard floating in the drink came to light, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) took cognizance of the matter. AMC Food Safety Officer Devang Patel collected samples of the cold drink from the McDonald’s outlet and sent them for testing at the public health laboratory in Ahmedabad.
Following the complaint made by the customer Bhargav Joshi, the outlet was sealed by the AMC for “larger public health safety”. The AMC directed the outlet to not open its premises without seeking prior permission from the body. A picture of the sealed outlet was also shared by Joshi on Twitter. “Great work done by AMC,” he wrote.
Responding to the incident, McDonald’s said in a press statement that they are looking into the claims made by the customer. It added that the outlet was checked repeatedly but nothing wrong was found. The statement further read that McDonald’s was cooperating with the authorities “being a good corporate citizen”.
