McDonald's Stops Selling Shrimp Burgers Due to Banned Medicine

McDonald's stopped selling the 'Sea Flavor Shrimp Cutlet Burger' and 'Sea Flavor Double-Layered Shrimp Cutlet Burger'. They were taken off the menu at 10:30 a.m., just one day after they were launched.

McDonald's found out that the shrimp had a banned medicine called nitrofurans. The company said it will give money back to customers who bought the burgers.

The company had papers from the suppliers saying the seafood was safe.

McDonald's stopped using the shrimp and said sorry to customers. They will tell customers how to get their money back within a week.

McDonald's had two shrimp burgers for a limited time.

McDonald's will do more tests to find out what happened.

Nitrofurans are strong medicines that can hurt people. They are banned in many countries, including Taiwan.

Some studies show that nitrofurans might cause cancer, but there is no proof that they do.

McDonald's in Hong Kong stopped selling its Ebi Burger series because of food safety concerns.

McDonald's in Hong Kong gets its shrimp from a supplier in Thailand.

The company said the shrimp used in Hong Kong is different from the shrimp used in Taiwan.
