The one McDonald’s dish that you should NEVER order according to ex-employees
Workers took it to Reddit to reveal the items you shouldn't order. Some said the dish might is "not fresh by any stretch of the imagination."
REDDIT users who claim to be McDonald's past and present employees have revealed the menu item you should never order from the fast food restaurant and why.
The fast food chain is a favourite for millions of Brits, but these claims may end up leaving a bad taste.
In a where restaurant workers were asked to share which menu items people should never order, users who claimed to work for the chain agreed that the Filet-O-Fish was a poor choice.
A reddit user who said he used to work at McDonald's three year ago said: "I can promise you that filet of fish is not fresh by any stretch of the imagination."
"At McDonald’s just say you want a fish filet cooked to order," another user advised.
He then explained that you would have to wait five minutes longer for your order but it will be "worth it compared to the filet that has been in the heated cabinet for hours."
Despite the criticism, one loyal McDonald's customer defended the chain by saying the fish burger is his favourite dish on the menu.
He said: "If you're going to serve me a square piece of fish that tastes the exact same whether I order it in Denver or the south of France, I am under no assumption that it is by any means fresh.
"And I am completely okay with that, it's my go-to comfort food."
A spokesperson for McDonald's told the Sun Online: “While we always strive to freshly prepare orders, for customer convenience, there are times – such as during peak hours – when we prepare some ingredients in advance. Our Filet-O-Fish – which uses solely Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)-certified wild-caught Alaska Pollock – continues to be a customer favourite around the world.”
In recent years, McDonald’s has been fighting more up-market chains like Five Guys and Shake Shack from taking an even bigger bite out of its business.
So this summer, the firm added posh £5 burgers to its menu and even started offering table service.

Last year, the restaurant also unveiled a secret fine dining menu using ingredients from its much-loved favourites in a bid to demonstrate the brand’s quality and versatility.
Previously, we also reported on the ingredient which makes McDonald's fries so delicious.
We also told how customers had been dipping fries into their McFlurries as part of a bizarre new trend.
