She’s not lovin’ it.

A Texas woman is suing McDonald’s after claiming she suffered grievous but unspecified injuries after eating a Sausage McMuffin with Egg she purchased at a Midtown Manhattan location.

Yvette Hinds filed suit May 26 in Manhattan Supreme Court claiming the breakfast sandwich she was served was “wholly unfit for human consumption,” according to court documents.

The complaint alleges the sandwich she was served on May 25, 2023 contained “injurious substances, contaminants, poisons, toxins, parasites, bacteria, germs and/or organisms which would and did cause various serious personal injuries.”

When she polished off the fast-food breakfast favorite, Hinds claims she became “violently ill and nauseated,” and suffered “severe pains and distress throughout her body.”

She further claimed she was forced to undergo “several operations, procedures and treatments” after eating the sandwich she was served at the restaurant location at 1651 Broadway, and said her “physical, nervous and mental systems were seriously and permanently injured” as a result.

Hinds was allegedly so sickened by the sandwich she was rendered unable to work or perform household duties, and was forced to incur “great expense” for medical treatment and expects to continue needing treatment moving forward.

Her lawyer, Mark Shirian, didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment, or for specifics about Hinds’ alleged injuries, but the suit accuses the fast-food behemoth of “negligence, carelessness and willful disregard.”

Among the defendants named in the complaint are the McDonald’s Corporation, the individual location where the meal was allegedly served, the franchisee and the real estate holding company that owns the location.

A McDonald’s rep did not immediately respond to a message from The Post seeking comment.
