On August 13, Taiwan's McDonald's issued a statement saying, “On the evening of August 12, we received a notice from the importer that the imported shrimp steak used in the 'Seafood Fried Prawn' and the 'Seafood Double Layered Prawn Burger' even though the manufacturer issued inspection documents for qualified seafood ingredients, but after subsequent independent sampling batches, 0.7 ppb of nitrofuran and its metabolites were detected, which did not meet the standards of food regulations.” Taiwan's McDonald's said it has taken immediate precautionary measures to completely stop using shrimp chops, and from 10:30 a.m. on August 13, all restaurants in Taiwan will stop selling two types of shrimp burgers. Further inspections are currently being carried out with suppliers and inspection units to carefully clarify the inspection results. Customers who purchased the above two shrimp burgers in the early morning of August 12 and 13 will be refunded by McDonald's. The relevant mechanism is being actively developed and is expected to be announced within a week.
