Columbus McDonald's Reopens After Crack Pipe Incident and Health Code Violations

Health authorities temporarily closed the restaurant following a customer's report of finding a crack pipe in their order and subsequent discovery of multiple health code violations.

A McDonald's location in Columbus, Ohio was temporarily closed after a customer reported finding a crack pipe in their breakfast order.
The customer, who posted about the incident on Reddit, returned the item to the restaurant and reported it to Franklin County Public Health.
Upon inspection, health authorities found multiple health code violations related to ongoing construction work at the restaurant, including dust and debris in food preparation areas.
The restaurant was given until January 4 to correct the violations, but has since reopened according to McDonald's corporate headquarters.
The franchise owner, Alex Mendoza, stated that an internal review found no evidence that the alleged drug paraphernalia came from the restaurant.
