The unnamed traveler was handed a fine of 2,664 Australian dollars ($1,874) after two undeclared egg and beef sausage McMuffins and a ham croissant were found in their luggage on arriving at Darwin Airport in the country's Northern Territory last week.
The statement went on to confirm that the passenger had been issued with "a 12-unit infringement notice for failing to declare potential high biosecurity risk items and providing a false and misleading document." The seized products are to be tested for foot and mouth disease before being destroyed.

Considering the poison McDonald’s produces, seems legit.
Where did this person fly into Australia from?
If I had two egg McMuffins and a ham croissant they wouldn’t survive a flight from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Bali, Idonesia.
Those egg-mcmuffins could be better smuggled by eating them first.
That would make a great commerical.
At the end the passenger would take a bite of the
‘forbidden’ breakfast sandwich, and shout ‘It Was Worth It!!”
One of the comments on the FoxNews version of this story asked if the inspection dog can detect them in your digestive tract...
The Aussies don’t mess around when it comes to protecting the agriculture.
I can attest to that.
surprised this wasn’t a story posted by The Bee !!
I should have thought of that! :)
When I was a teenager I was surprised that I couldn’t take home a pineapple that I had bought in Hawaii. They don’t mess around either.
The sausage-egg muffin is about the only thing that I’ll eat from McD’s.
Probably Egg and Sausage McMuffins and ham croissant were dropped by a robotic arm into a self-closing Total Containment Vessel (TCV) upgraded with a chemical/biological package to contain, transport and dispose of the fast food hazards. They remain gas-tight up to their full repeatable containment capacity and remain sealed indefinitely following a detonation.

In my mind, it’s a toss up who has gone more nuts :Canada or Australia.
What was it? Something McGriddle, that was pretty tasty.
Years ago the food was good and so was the service, certain demographically inclined areas still can be. I would like to ask if the gmen disinfected the passengers footwear on arrival and frisked them?
Probably how the found the”hammburrrrgerrrrr”
Australia confuses me. They try to portray themselves as a nation of rugged individualists doing their own thing. But the reality is that Australia is as much a nanny state as France. Maybe more so. The China Virus response in Australia was insane.
How the heck did it get this way?
