McDonald's Hong Kong Pulls Shrimp Burgers After Taiwan Detects Antibiotic Residue McDonald's Hong Kong has pulled its Ebi Burger series from shelves due to concerns over antibiotic residue in the shrimp patties.
This move follows a similar action by Taiwan McDonald's, where the same products were suspended after random batch testing revealed 0. 7 ppb of nitrofurans – synthetic antibiotics banned in many countries.
The presence of nitrofurans in food products is a ticking time bomb that threatens to undermine years of progress in public health.
