Here's where that BullSpit about McDonald's using human meat Started! Idiots have done the rest spreading a joke as truth!
The claim originated from a 2014 satirical (fake) article on Huzlers.com, a humor/prank news site.
It was never a serious accusation from any credible source, investigation, or whistleblower—it's classic internet troll/satire content that people repeatedly shared as real. The story typically claimed human remains (sometimes mixed with horse meat) were found in freezers at an Oklahoma City McDonald's meat factory, with wild details like it being in "90% of factories." Fact-checkers like Snopes, AP, and Reuters have repeatedly traced it back to that Huzlers post from around March 27, 2014.
Quick background:
Huzlers.com, explicitly does satire and even had tools for users to create their own prank "news" stories. The site itself often included disclaimers about mixing real shocking news with fiction.
- The rumor took off because it played on older McDonald's urban legends (e.g., worms in burgers, which started elsewhere) and spread via social media, Facebook conspiracy pages, emails, and copy-paste sites that stripped the satire label.
- No evidence has ever supported it. McDonald's uses standard beef suppliers, and claims like this get debunked every time they resurface (which they do periodically on TikTok, Instagram, etc.).
Variations exist—like misread DNA studies (tiny traces of human DNA in food can come from harmless contamination by handlers, not "meat") or absurd math about burger volume requiring "human meat"—but the core modern version traces to that 2014 satire.
It's just recycled internet bullspit, like many fast-food myths. No shadowy founder or deep conspiracy—just a joke site that worked too well.
