A TEENAGER says she found a partially smoked marijuana cigarette in her frozen yogurt at a McDonald's in South Texas.

Valerie Valle, 16, of Round Rock, Texas, and seven other family members were returning home last week from holiday on South Padre Island, Texas, when they stopped for breakfast.
Valle said she waited in line on July 22 to return the yoghurt and replied "no thanks" when asked if she wanted another one.

The restaurant refunded the money.

According to a San Benito police report, only two McDonald's employees made yoghurt that morning. Restaurant management told police employees take drug tests.

No charges have been filed.

"We're conducting our own internal investigation into this incident," said Joe Magliolo, operations manager for the company that owns the McDonald's franchise.

"Obviously, it would be inappropriate to come to any conclusions as to what did or did not happen until all the facts are known."

Chief Building Inspector Joe Avila said the McDonald's passed a city health inspection on Friday morning. Avila said the restaurant's management requested a city health inspection for the building following the incident.
