Little girl chokes on face mask found inside chicken nuggets
Face masks have become part of our daily routine and it's hard to even think back to a time before we had to wear them, but this might be pushing it.
Before 2020, face masks were a foreign concept or at least a rare, used-on-occasion accessory.

But that doesn't mean we would want face masks just popping up anywhere. Especially in our food.
A mother and her daughter were just as shocked after the little girl had started choking while enjoying her chicken nuggets.

After picking up their order form their local McDonald's, the family went home to enjoy the meal.
It was not soon after that Laura Arber's six-year-old daughter, Maddie, started choking and she had to help make her sick. That's when she spotted the blue material.
Having no idea what it could possibly be, and not even considering it might be a face mask, she looked to the remaining chicken nuggets only to find more of the material in another nugget.

She said there had been some of the face mask in at least two of the 20 chicken nuggets.
What followed was a trip back to the branch to speak to the manager and a very disappointing conversation. The manager mentioned that the nuggets were not cooked on-site and didn't apologise.
What might be even more shocking is the fact that they went on to continue serving chicken nuggets.

Luckily, Maddie is now doing well.
But this does make you wonder, will there be any other unsuspecting people finding face masks in strange places?
