A New Brunswick man is looking for answers after saying he found a dead mouse in his McDonald's coffee.

Ron Morais says he bought the coffee Monday in Fredericton. He says he didn't notice the rodent until he popped the lid off to enjoy the last few sips.

McDonald's Canada says it takes allegations involving cleanliness and sanitation seriously.

But the company says the local public health authority and a pest control company found no evidence of pest problems in or outside the restaurant. It says the investigation is ongoing.

Morais says he doesn't want anything from McDonald's besides an explanation. He's had no ill effects from the drink, but says he'll be making coffee at home for the foreseeable future.
