WARNING - the information on this page is company propaganda, produced to persuade you to buy more of McDonald's products. Parts of it may be deliberately misleading.
- McDonald's meat patties are 100% pure beef, with no additives whatsoever. All the meat, which is EC produced, is prepared and packaged at our own meat plants.
In addition to inspections carried out before the beef arrives at the plant, McDonald's undertakes 36 separate quality control checks on every batch. McDonald's uses only the best cuts of prime forequarter and flank meat, which is probably leaner than the minced beef you will find in some butcher's shops. Also, because we griddle our meat, there is no extra fat added during cooking, just a little salt to season.
- McDonald's world famous French Fries are produced only from the best quality potatoes - such as Russet Burbank, Shepody and Pentland Dell and our total annual requirement is UK grown. No artificial colourings are used on our French Fries, however from time to time a light dextrose (sugar solution) spray may be used on the surface to enhance the colour. The French Fries are seasoned with salt to taste, prior to serving.
- The fish in McDonald's Filet-o-Fish is 100% cod with a pinch of salt to taste after cooking.
- McDonald's chicken Sandwich is made from boned breast meat in a light batter coating, with lettuce and mayonnaise in a toasted bun.
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are made from cuts of boned breast and thigh meat. They are shaped in uniform sized to ensure consistency in weight and value and served in a specially seasoned breading.
- McChicken Sandwich, Chicken McNuggets, Filet-o-Fish, French Fries, Hash Browns and Fruit Pies are cooked in pure rapeseed oil.
- McDonald's is proud of the ingredients used in all products, from the basic Hamburger to the Big Mac, from French Fries to Apple Pies.
