Un journaliste américain révèle que McDonald's incorporait de la viande humaine dans ses préparations et hamburgers.

Publisher’s rating: L'allégation sur l'utilisation de viande humaine dans la préparation des produits McDonald's a été réfutée à de nombreuses reprises. Son origine provient d'un article satirique diffusé en 2014. De plus, l'extrait du reportage partagé sur les réseaux sociaux n'a aucun lien avec la firme de restauration rapide.

The review says there is no evidence that McDonald’s incorporated human meat into its products and that the shared report footage is unrelated to the company. It traces the allegation to a satirical article published in 2014 and identifies the footage as a 2013 report about human remains found in a Detroit warehouse.

Publisher’s rating: FALSO

The review says Starlink does not control all satellites in Brazil: Anatel data cited in the article counted 52 satellites in commercial operation, of which only one was operated by SpaceX. It also reports that telecom operators primarily use their own infrastructure, while sometimes relying on satellite services from different third-party providers in remote areas.

Das FBI findet die sterblichen Überreste von Menschen bei einem Fleischlieferanten von McDonald's, wie dieser Fernsehbericht zeigt.

Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung ist falsch. Der Fernsehbericht hat mit McDonald‘s nichts zu tun. Behauptungen über die Verwendung von menschlichem Fleisch bei McDonald‘s sind völlig aus der Luft gegriffen.

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.
