Disgusting Discoveries Found On McDonald’s Self Serve Touch Screens

The McDonald’s franchise has been facing some stiff competition lately from new distrupters in the fast food space like Shake Shack and In-N-Out Burger. Plus, the public is demanding healthier and tastier options. McDonald’s, the once undisputed King of the fast food world has had to watch its throne, lately. The golden arches continue to lean on technology and cost reduction methods rather than food quality and healthy ingredients to hold its rank at the top of the fast food chain.

Recently its latest attempt at cutting cost and staying relevant was to introduce new technology into an experimental new location in the UK and Chicago. Along with boasting digital kiosks and table service, it also comes with an invisible surprise called coliforms, a type of bacteria found in feces. And that’s not all:  The list below breaks down all the restaurants tested in the UK in a recent research study and all of the pathogens (bad bacteria) found on the touch screens at those particular locations. The results will make your jaw drop and turn you green… so to speak.
