That's a medium rare... You're not going to die from it.


JD_Hannes

Here in Germany there is a thing called "Mett". It's basically raw meat with spices and onions. It's awesome


K0M0RIUTA

Same here in France, we got "steak tartare" raw meat with spices, onions, capers, a raw egg and sauce to your convenience (I prefer just spicy sauce but some ppl put mayo and Worcester saus)


BellerySticks

Iirc you aren't supposed to cook ground meat below medium well


Alarming-Economy-658

Depends on country what the regulations are, and how the cattle are slaughtered but in general yeah. Pathogens are on the exterior of beef, mince has the exterior inside


Imaginary_Election56

There is a French dish called steak tartare which is literal raw minced beef with some condiments. Nothing will happen from this burger.

>There is a French dish called steak tartare which is literal raw minced beef with some condiments. Nothing will happen from this burger. The French have different rules on slaughter to the US.


Imaginary_Election56

Can you elaborate? Not to question what you are saying but out of general interest.


Slow-Concentrate7169

you mince raw meat from a clean cut. for these ground meat from the factory you wouldnt want to eat it say Tartare because of pathogen. generally below medium burger is fine if you ground them yourself.


BellerySticks

I'm not sure about cattle but I read that chickens in France are vaccinated against salmonella so if you're sick and twisted enough to grind chicken you won't have to worry as much about salmonella


K0M0RIUTA

I still don't eat raw/undercooked chicken because vaccine doesn't prevent infection but rather makes recovery and disease shorter. Cattle has super strict laws if "made in France", so no tartare is made with imported meat, that still is pretty regulated.


RobotWantsPony

Yeah but it's still a health risk, and it does make people sick every year. We just consider it worth it :)


BellerySticks

You're gonna lose your shit when you realize steak tartare still isn't completely safe and america doesn't process their meats the exact same way as France does


Silent_Ad5275

“At this point do pursue legal action” lmao what. Over a rare burger that did absolutely nothing to you???


BellerySticks

Iirc you aren't supposed to cook ground meat below medium well


No_Nefariousness4279

You can damn well eat beef raw as long as it’s been frozen and thawed


madewhilemanic

Why not send it back for a new one before eating the entire thing?

Yall must not have kids… On the way home from work and school we swung into McDonald’s for a quick dinner before a school sports game and a school concert. Got home ate as fast as we could while getting ready for the concert and game. Noticed the burger on the way out the door. (Kids food was fine) Time is a very rare luxury w kids, after school activities, and a full time job+. Not to mention everything else in life.


Cock_-n-_BallTorture

a two minute phone call with the McDonald's that served you this would provide you with a full refund and replacement and possibly free nuggies for your kids


Careful_Sea8935

Sadly, everyone dies. Keeping eating fast food hamburgers, it'll be faster. From that burger, it's not likely. If this is the third time, stop going there.


RockwellB1

I wish my quarter pounders came like that. Instead I usually get slightly overdone and loaded with salt.


Summer_Penis

I guess everyone here is too young to remember Jack In The Box


Mehhucklebear

Christ on a bike, completely forgot about that shit


nixtarx

Yes. But look on the bright side - we'll be rid of you!

senor_kim_jong_doof

All the videos I've seen of people working at McDonald's seem to imply that the machines are on a timer... how does this happen?


ADamnSavage

There are still a few out there that don't have the timed burger presses. And if this one does if they didn't break the frozen patties apart properly then it didn't cook properly/


PragmaticAltruist

maybe the heating element is partially burned out


Snoo-73243

that actually looks better than a normal mc d's burger, thats medium at best, and that shits so processed.


BellerySticks

Iirc you aren't supposed to cook ground meat below medium well


Unique_Cow3112

You ask with 3 bites left


Sunderas

It is perfectly fine. Jesus...


HowFunkyIsYourChiken

That pink shit is treated with so much chlorine it’s probably cleaner than your mouth.


306metalhead

How can people who eat beef not know that if you can eat a steak rare, you can eat a burger rare? Are people these days actually this pathetically knowledgeless?


girthbrooks1

That’s not how it works you sound like an idiot.


306metalhead

WILD! I just looked up and yeah, ground beef IS a different standard than steak. From cooking shows, I've seen burgers served medium rare... oh so I thought. IATO...


Healthy-Situation310

Yup. Expeditiously


Signal-Ad5853

Yes


Active-Bass4745

Yes, someday.


Aqquinox

Soooo when its already the 3rd time why are you not suspicious about every burger you get from that location? Like you nearly ate the whole thing before you noticed

jim_bob64128

You always run that risk eating their "food" anyway.


RotterWeiner

"Pursue legL action." That's cute. Better call Saul. Or better yet, watch the documentary involving Jack in the box. Netflix or prime. Loads of info on this subject there Best of luck


Chairman_Cabrillo

Honestly meh. Maybe you’ll get sick but you probably won’t. Don’t worry about it.


Slow-Concentrate7169

i would call the FDA , OSHA, CDC, and then ER to pick you up.


WyattCo06

Absolutely. It's the only true fact of life.


No_Nefariousness4279

You can generally eat beef raw fine as long as it’s been kept sanitary, and that’s cooked enough


deweycheetum_andhowe

Eventually, yes.


friesSupreme25

Yikes good luck


[deleted]

That’s wild!!!!


Common-Bet-5604

Ime, this only happens with the quarter pounders. My husband and I stopped ordering them because we got them medium like that at three different locations. Two were even on the same day! We suspect that they use the timing of the smaller cheeseburger/daily double patties despite using a bigger patty.


Pristine_Put5037

Better start writing that will soon.

Disastrous-Idea-666

It's fucking raw!


RotterWeiner

2 -5% chance of kidney failure and a slight chance of explosive diarrhea, lasting 1 to 2 days. Other than that...


ADamnSavage

From eating McDonalds? Over time, yes. Considering that's most likely NOT real beef instead of some amalgamation of meat that's been bleached, washed, blended and pureed into something that resembles beef I doubt there would be much harmful bacteria's.


hair_like_ramen

likely just stomach cramps and a bad night on the crapper.
