I found a live caterpillar in my £11.50 burger from McDonalds in Blackpool and I will never eat there again
‘It was absolutely horrendous and I will never eat there again’
A Blackpool mum says she will ‘never eat at McDonalds again’ after she found a live caterpillar in her burger.
The green insect was crawling in the burger box when Naomi O’Donohue bought a takeaway from the Rigby Road restaurant in Blackpool with her partner.
She said: “I took two bites and stopped when spotted something crawling. I thought ‘what on Earth is that?’
“It was a green caterpillar. I got out of the car and was physically throwing up while my partner Ken took the food back to McDonalds.
“It was absolutely horrendous and I will never go to McDonalds again.”

The visit to the restaurant was a treat for daughter Madeleine, who has ADHD and had enjoyed a great week at school.
“We don’t buy a lot of takeaways but we wanted it to be a treat, said Naomi, of Fern Court, Blackpool.
She paid £11.50 for the burger which was one of a new range on the menu.
“When Ken took it back they apologised and gave us a full refund and two McFlurries - but I want to know what they are going to do to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
“I’ve just had surgery on my stomach, if I’d have swallowed it, it might have caused infection.
“It was awful.”
