So disgusting...
http://www.iflscience.com/health-and...found-kfcs-iceBacteria from poop has been discovered on ice served in a KFC restaurant in the U.K. Not so finger lickin' good.
The discovery was made as part of "Rip Off Britain," a BBC consumer watchdog show, which was investigating hygiene levels at chain cafes and takeaway restaurants. The sample was found at one branch of KFC in Martineau Place, Birmingham. Samples from the other stores displayed low and harmless levels of bacteria.
Reporters from the show went undercover into each of the restaurants and asked for a cup of ice and tap water. The samples were then studied by medical microbiologists who looked for bacteria.
Dr. Margarita Gomez Escalada, who studied the sample at Leeds Beckett University, told Rip Off Britain: "The presence of fecal coliform suggests that there's fecal contamination either on the water that made the ice, or the ice itself, and so it increases the risk of getting sick from consuming this ice."
She added, "It's really hard to say how the fecal bacteria got to the ice that we tested. The thing I think is most likely is that it got there through manipulation. So someone touched the ice and their hands weren't particularly clean."
KFC have said they were “extremely disappointed” with the news and they were undertaking an immediate investigation, along with a staff retraining program.
Janet Cox, head of health, safety, and environment at KFC U.K. and Ireland, told CNBC, “We take food safety and hygiene extremely seriously at KFC, and with 95 percent of our restaurants achieving a score of 4 or above, having just one of our 890 restaurants with a zero rating was completely unacceptable, which is why we worked with a specialist third party consultant to get the restaurant back to our high standards.”

Ice makers are filthy. This is not news.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Hasn't this been found to be the case at many fast food restaurants regardless of country?

Eat crap, get crap. It is really as simple as that regardless of the staff's intention.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Isn't the title a little misleading since it seems to have only been found in establishment?

Sounds pretty nasty, but that's the risk you take for eating out I guess. Never know where your food has been or the people that are making it!

Notice they don't label the parts per million of whatever unit they use to measure it, probably because of instead of the accepted 4 parts per million it had 8 parts per million or whatever. Also, ice makers are gross, this isn't news.

What a.... shitty situation.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

That feel when you're a multinational corporation and one of your franchisees in one location overseas has a small health issue with not even the food and now your name is ruined forever.

Such studies have found similar results in literally any country for any target group of restaurant, be it low budget fast food restaurants or high class restaurants. But then, chances are the hygiene in those restaurants, all of them, is higher than your own home. Originally Posted by Darth Phayde

I'm sure high levels of fecal bacteria is a general thing in the UK.
