The incident took place on July 10, 2014, when Sandeep Saxena a resident of East Delhi visited the McDonald's joint in Noida. He called for a McAloo Tikki burger along with other food items. But when he took a bite of the burger, he saw an insect inside. He removed the bun and confirmed there was actually an insect within. He fell terribly sick realising what he just ate. When he could not stop vomiting, he approached the outlet's manager. He complained that he saw an insect which resembled "an ant, a mosquito or a cockroach".

As per the reports in TOI he had called the police and also the district magistrate's office. The burger was sent for testing and it was confirmed by the office of Food Safety and Medicine Administration as 'unsafe.' The reports also confirmed that there indeed was an insect inside. But the news report also mentioned that there was no complaint or notice from the food inspector to the outlet. Man Finds Dead Cockroach in Zomato Meal, Customer Care Executive Tries to Crack Joke, Makes Things Worse.

They have to pay him within 60 days of the receipt of the order. Any delay in compliance, McDonald's will have to pay 9 per cent interest on the compensation amount to the complainant.
