A MUM was left gagging after she claims she accidentally ate half a huge SPIDER in her McDonald’s wrap.
Katie Moss, from Winsford, Cheshire, was halfway through her chicken and bacon wrap when she noticed there was something unusual about the texture.

Katie Moss unsuspectingly ordered a wrap, chips and a 99p burger from McDonald’s for her lunch on Wednesday, January 19 but after munching around three-quarters of the wrap, she claims to have bitten into something ‘hard’.
Katie said: “I ordered it for lunch because we didn’t have much in. I was three-quarters of the way through it and I felt something hard in my mouth.
“At first I thought it was the end of a tomato so I pulled it out and at first I thought it was just part of the chicken but when I looked closer, I thought it was a crab then I realised it was a spider.
“I spat the rest out but I had bitten into it. I was disgusted, I felt like throwing up. It was all curled up.”
The 21-year-old says she was horrified after spotting an ‘exotic’-looking spider that she had ‘never seen’ before.
Katie said “I don’t think the spider was from the UK because I’ve never seen a spider like that before. It was some kind of exotic spider.

“I don’t really mind spiders but I don’t want one in my mouth.
“It didn’t taste of anything at the time but afterwards there was an off taste in my mouth, which could have been my imagination.
“I would have preferred to have just not known it was in there and that I’d eaten it. I know people say you swallow about eight spiders in your lifetime but at least you don’t know you’re swallowing them.”
She added: “I wouldn’t have minded if it was a small one but it was huge.”
The mum-of-two claims she immediately called the Winsford branch to complain but was left dissatisfied, vowing never to eat at the restaurant again.
The care assistant says she has been offered a refund and replacement voucher, but the order has also put her off takeaways for life.
Katie said: “I’m traumatised by it, I’m paranoid as well. I examining everything I eat now, including things I’ve cooked and it’s put me off all takeaways.
“I couldn’t even drink the coke after.”
Who in their right mind would put a spider in a wrap?

She contacted McDonald’s through the Just Eat app, and they promised to investigate and offered Katie a £10 voucher.
Katie said: “I rang straight away and they offered me a refund and replacement meal but when I thought about it after, it’s not good enough. I won’t be eating there ever again anyway.
“They got back to me saying they couldn’t come to a conclusion on how the spider got into the wrap. Who in their right mind would put a spider in a wrap?
“I’m not going to eat there again, so a voucher isn’t much good to me. I want proper compensation.”
McDonald’s have also apologised and are now investigating the chewed up item to establish what it is and how it got in Katie’s food.
So far, they suspect it could have originated from a bag of fresh lettuce.
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “Food safety is of the utmost importance to us. We place great emphasis on quality control, following rigorous standards to avoid any imperfections, so we are sorry to hear of this customer’s experience.
“As soon as this was brought to the attention of the restaurant, the customer was apologised to and offered both a refund and replacement meal.
“The customer has also returned the item in question which will enable us to investigate further.
“We understand the customer has been liaising with our Customer Services Team too, who are helping to find a resolution.”
