A TikTok video posted by user @tel2raww on July 26 alleges that a McDonald's manager instructed employees to use spoiled milk in the ice cream machine, causing outrage and disbelief among fans.
Allegations of Spoiled Milk in McDonald's Ice Cream Machines Spark Outrage and Skepticism on TikTok
If you have ever been disappointed to discover that McDonald's ice cream machines are perpetually out of order, a recent TikTok video may make you reconsider that frustration. On July 26, TikTok user @tel2raww posted a video alleging that their general manager at McDonald's instructed them to use spoiled milk in the ice cream machine. The video, purportedly filmed inside a McDonald's, shows a small, plastic bottle of severely chunky milk being squeezed into an already-full ice cream machine.
This shocking revelation left some McDonald's fans in the comments section in disbelief, demanding to know where this alleged incident occurred. Others, claiming experience in the restaurant or fast-food industry, insisted that health code violations of this nature are not uncommon. Meanwhile, some expressed skepticism about the TikToker's claim.
It's important to note that McDonald's shakes aren't called milkshakes because they don't technically contain milk—at least not in a way that meets the varied state regulations defining a "milkshake." Observant commenters pointed out milk bottles are not typically poured into McDonald's ice cream machines. "At McDonald's, they don't put milk in the machines. It's a crème that comes in a bag," one commenter noted.
Ongoing Debate Over TikTok Video's Claims Highlights Need for McDonald's Official Response
Despite these clarifications, the debate over the TikTok video's accuracy continued. "Working at McDonald's for almost three years now, I didn't know about this until my manager told me a while ago. They do this so they are not wasting product/money," another commenter added. The importance of McDonald's response to this severe allegation cannot be overstated. Mashed reached out to McDonald's for comment, but as of the writing of this article, a response has yet to be received.
While the prospect of no ice cream in the summer heat is a letdown, Mashed has ranked McDonald's desserts from worst to best, with the apple pie emerging as a clear favorite. Until this issue is resolved, it might be wise to opt for the pie.
