Taipei health authority found inorganic arsenic – a cancer-causing substance – from cooking oil of McDonald's outlets during a normal inspection, reported by Taiwan’s Lianhe newspaper on July 8.
McDonald’s Taipei subsidiary said they did not find any unsafe sources during their daily self-inspection as well as third-party inspection, and will apply for a second-round inspection, according to the Lianhe's report.
Meanwhile, McDonald's outlets in mainland China swore to their food quality.
"Our deep fried products do meet China's standards of food safety, and we change cooking oil based on the official requirement," Li Di, a spokesman at Shanghai McDonald's Food Co., Ltd., told Poultry International's Coco Liu.
However, the company's statement may fail to reduce customers' fears. Beijing-based Xinjing Newspaper reported that some customers decided to stop eating in McDonald's for food safety concerns.
