Das FBI findet die sterblichen Überreste von Menschen bei einem Fleischlieferanten von McDonald's.
Publisher’s rating: Nein, der Fernsehbericht über einen Leichenfund im Jahr 2013 hat mit McDonald‘s überhaupt nichts zu tun. Die Imbisskette wird darin nirgends erwähnt, es geht um einen alten Kriminalfall.
The review says the video shows an FBI search of a Detroit warehouse in late 2013, where a business dealing in human remains operated—not a McDonald’s supplier. It says neither the TV report nor the related court documents mention McDonald’s, and that the claim linking the remains to the chain has no basis.

The review says the ABC report does not mention McDonald’s or connect its hamburgers to human remains. It concerns a late-2013 search of a Detroit warehouse owned by Arthur Rathburn, who dealt in human remains; the review says the case had no connection to McDonald’s.
