A Canadian nutritionist left hers on the counter for a year and reports no mould has formed.

Windsor nutritionist Melanie Hesketh is making waves after putting McDonalds cheeseburgers to the test. According to McDonald’s Canada, they exclusively sell 100 per cent Canadian beef, with no additives, fillers or binding agents in their patties. Yet after Hesketh left a cheeseburger on her kitchen counter for an entire year, she found no noticeable change in the patty, bun, or cheese, except for slight shrinkage. Not even bacteria were interested in the unrefrigerated meat, which Hesketh has attributed to the patty’s 750 milligrams of sodium. No mustard or ketchup was included in the test, and the nutritionist says she plans to keep the burger indefinitely. Mmm… binding agents.
