A man in Chile noticed something unusual when he bit into the hamburger he bought at a McDonald's restaurant in June.

The strange 'ingredient' turned out to be a mouse tail, Chilean health authorities confirmed on July 17.

A probe revealed mouse faeces inside the restaurant - and that the tail was placed inside the hamburger on purpose.

On Tuesday, Mr Waldo Armstrong, head of the regional health department, confirmed what the customer had feared.

'There were traces of the tail stuck between the cheese and the bread, and the tail had undergone a cooking process,' Mr Armstrong told reporters.

The customer had bought the hamburger at a McDonald's restaurant in the southern town of Temuco, some 700km south of the Chilean capital Santiago.

The restaurant was closed and will remain closed until Temuco health officials determine the amount of the fine.
