Sarah Douglas got a latte with cleaning fluid in it from a McDonald's in Lethbridge, a city in Alberta, Canada.
Sarah Douglas ordered a latte from a McDonald's drive-thru in Alberta, Canada, on Sunday.
But the milk in her drink was mixed with cleaning fluid.
The owner of the McDonald's franchise told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that the cleaning-solution line was still connected to the milk line when it made Douglas' coffee.
A McDonald's outlet served a pregnant woman a latte that was full of cleaning fluid instead of milk over the weekend.
Sarah Douglas stopped at a McDonald's drive-thru in Lethbridge, a town in Alberta, Canada, to get a drink on Sunday morning. She paid and left, but then realized upon taking a sip that her drink had a chemical taste and immediately spat it out, she said.
The restaurant later found that the coffee machine had been attached to the cleaning-fluid line when it made Douglas' drink.
Douglas, who is more than seven months pregnant, described the drink in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
She said a staff member told her that two cleaning lines were connected to the milk line, a detail confirmed in a statement to the CBC from the owner of the franchise, Dan Brown.

The supervisor on duty showed her the cleaning-fluid packaging so she could give health officials complete information about what she drank, Douglas told the CBC. Since she did not swallow any of the fluid, Douglas was ultimately fine and given the all-clear by a doctor, she said.
But Douglas told the local news website Lethbridge News Now that a staff member said this was not the first time this had happened.
Brown apologized in a statement to Lethbridge News Now and said his team had been in "very close contact" with Douglas.
"We have taken immediate action to review the proper cleaning procedures with the team and have put additional signage up as an added reminder," he said.
