The McDonald’s branch has been closed for full sanitation and will undergo undated inspections for three months. An image of a small reptile swimming in a cold drink has gone viral on social media. Information taken from the “Page not found” page of the Extra portal.

The restaurant’s management said they were investigating the incident and said they were committed to the quality of the food on offer and the hygiene of the premises, according to the India.com website.

The customer, identified as Bhargav Joshi, said the canteen manager offered him the money he spent on the snack (about R$19) but had to wait more than four hours for him to serve it.

In May, a customer of the same chain in South Africa said he found a small frog in a sandwich at a branch in Secunda, Mpumalanga province.

The episode also went viral on social media. Willem Bezuidenhout claimed, according to the TimesLive website, that he ordered a chicken sandwich for his daughter, who would make a strange discovery in the middle of mayonnaise.
