McDonalds in Trouble

Non Compos Mentis 2003 | 08.12.2003 21:27 | Animal Liberation | Health | London

Hong Kong government asks McDonalds to withdraw its Honey BBQ sauce as it contains the sweetener stevioside which is banned in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong government asks McDonalds to withdraw its Honey BBQ sauce as it contains the sweetener stevioside which is banned in Hong Kong. The main chemical in stevioside can be converted in a laboratory into a substance that alters genes and might be therefore linked to cancer and / or sterility. (Hong Kong has already banned the use of stevioside)

McDonalds hasn't commented on this.

Reminder:
In 2001 McDonalds used beef extract in its fries. Legal action and protests from vegetarians followed resulting in an apology from McDonald
