28-Sept-06 AFP

Not sure if grilled chicken foldover at McDonald's in Malaysia contains cancer substance, but for sure I won't order that anymore.
In U.S, every sample of grilled chicken products from the seven national chains tested positive for a dangerous carcinogenic compound called PhIP. PhIP is one of a group of carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are found in grilled meats. In 2005, the US government officially added HCAs to its list of cancer-causing agents.
Leading fast-food chains including McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Chili's, Applebee's, Outback Steakhouse and TGI Friday's.
