Introduction
It’s no secret that fast food restaurants are often not held to the same standards as other restaurants when it comes to cleanliness and food safety. But a recent video leak of a McDonald’s location in the United Kingdom has revealed just how bad the conditions can be. The video, which was leaked to the public, showed a kitchen in a state of disarray, with food and debris scattered across the floor and counters. In response to the video, the McDonald’s location was immediately shut down and an investigation is underway. This article will discuss the video, the response from McDonald’s, and what this means for the fast food industry.
This McDonald’s Location Was Shut Down After a Video Leak Showed Deplorable Kitchen Conditions
McDonald’s is one of the most popular fast food chains in the world, but one of its locations in the United Kingdom was recently shut down after a video leak showed deplorable kitchen conditions. The video, which was leaked to the public, showed a kitchen that was in a state of disrepair, with food that was not properly stored and cooked, and a general lack of hygiene.
The video was taken by an employee at the location, and it quickly went viral on social media. The video showed a kitchen that was in a state of disrepair, with food that was not properly stored and cooked, and a general lack of hygiene. The video also showed employees handling food without gloves, and not following proper food safety protocols.
The video sparked outrage among customers, and the local health department quickly launched an investigation. After the investigation, the health department determined that the location was in violation of several food safety regulations, and the location was shut down.
McDonald’s has since released a statement apologizing for the incident, and has promised to take steps to ensure that all of its locations are up to the highest standards of food safety. The company has also promised to take disciplinary action against the employees involved in the incident.
This incident serves as a reminder that food safety is of the utmost importance, and that customers should always be aware of the conditions in which their food is being prepared. It is also a reminder that employees should always follow proper food safety protocols, and that companies should take steps to ensure that their locations are up to the highest standards of food safety.
While diners hope that what’s going on behind closed doors of a restaurant kitchen is sanitary, they can’t always be sure. And one community in Central California was particularly appalled when the deplorable kitchen conditions of a local McDonald’s were leaked in a series of videos.
A McDonald’s in Sanger, Calif., was shut down after videos of its food prep area showing footage of rodents, roaches, and trash, were posted to Sanger Live, a Facebook group for community news and events. The footage allegedly came from McDonald’s employees who were outraged about the unsanitary conditions.

The disturbing videos show glue traps containing multiple dead mice, cups being stored on the ground, insects skittering around where food is being made, and even what appears to be a live mouse running on the floor near an employee’s foot as they service the drive-thru window.
McDonald’s in question is located at 295 Academy Ave., and according to The Fresno Bee, the restaurant closed shortly after the videos surfaced, on June 3. The Bee also reported that an investigation by the Fresno County Public Health Department of the situation is currently ongoing.
“We can confirm that claims were filed against the restaurant, and we are aware of the videos circulating that claim to show conditions of the place,” said a member of the Fresno County Health Division to The Fresno Bee in an interview. “That is a facility that we do monitor from a health and safety standpoint. We are looking into the situation and cannot comment any further.”
According to the Sanger Live Facebook group, the McDonald’s location had been recently remodeled and the building was “fairly new,” despite having current issues with infestation. After the videos were posted to the group, members of the community submitted additional videos and photographs of the Sanger McDonald’s, showing more proof of unhygienic conditions.
The additional reports document bathrooms covered in used toilet paper and other dirty areas in and outside of the restaurant.
The Fresno Bee reported that the location was blocked off by traffic cones and a piece of paper with the words “Closed Due to Maintenance” was posted on the front door as of June 3.
