Complaint investigation in reference to RFS 14-0036 which stated that complainant, "found a foreign object in her drink," and became ill after eating a cheeseburger happy meal with Diet Coke from "McDonald's in Peoria on Main Street."  Site investigation conducted 1/27/2014, at which point a full routine inspection was completed.  See full inspection for more details.  During site investigation, Sanitarian discussed the complaint with manager, Odila Ortiz.  Ms. Ortiz stated that she was aware of the complaint and had already addressed it with the customer as well as her staff.  On Friday, 1/24/2014, at approximately 1-1:30 pm, the ice machine at Drive-Thru stopped working.  Upon inspection, Ms. Ortiz observed pieces of a cardboard cup holder intermingled with the ice.  She determined that when an employee filled the ice bin, they accidentally knocked the cup holder into the bin and chopped it up unknowingly along with the ice.  Ms. Ortiz believes this to be the foreign object that the complainant found in her drink.  No other complaints of illness or foreign objects in drinks were made.  Upon finding the pieces of cardboard in the ice bin, Ms. Ortiz emptied the entire ice bin at Drive-Thru.  After disposing of all of the ice in the bin, she cleaned and sanitized the entire machine before refilling it with ice.  Sanitarian took temperatures of burgers (frozen and 155 degrees F in hot holding unit) and fries (frozen and 147 degrees F in fry bin).  All Happy Meal boxes were stored at least 6 inches off of the floor.  Manager stated that no employees had recently been ill or gone home ill in the last two weeks.  Sanitarian recommends complaint be closed.
