For a while now I ask for no ice when I eat out, now heres why: A new study by UK’s The Daily Mail found that ice from McDonald’s, Starbucks, Burger King and KFC, to name a few, contains more bacteria than toilet water. RT’s Margaret Howell breaks down the report.
Ice in six out of ten restaurants has more bacteria than water from toilets
- McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Starbucks, Cafe Rouge and Nandos tested
- Ice from branches had higher levels of bacteria in ice than toilet samples
- Experts say it could be down to toilets cleaned more often than ice machines
- Four samples contained enough microbes to be ‘hygiene risk’
