Riley County Police were called out to the Westloop McDonald's around 5:30 pm when a customer reported finding an unknown, foreign substance in their food.

According to Riley County Police Department's Public Information Officer, Aaron Wintermote, the customer reported no adverse health effects.

The RCPD Hazardous Evidence Response Team (HERT) and Manhattan Fire Department HazMat Team also responded to the scene and determined the substance to be non-hazardous. The Kansas Department of Agriculture was also notified of the incident.

No additional reports have been received by RCPD, and it is believed to be an isolated event with no risk or threat to the community.

Due to the incident, the Westloop McDonald's voluntarily closed for the night to assist with the investigation and conduct internal cleaning.

This situation is still under investigation and no further information will be released at this time.

RCPD would like to thank McDonald's, Manhattan Fire Department, and the Kansas Department of Agriculture for their assistance.
