“Does McDonalds food not rot?”
Hello! McDonald's food is just like the food you prepare at home. If you think about the ingredients of our beef burgers for example, you will find 100% pure and Halal beef patties, farm-fresh tomatoes, lettuce and onions and high quality buns sourced from our approved bakery. Therefore, our food will also decay or rot when left for sometime in an environment that supports the rotting process.
However, there is something important to note about the process. Essentially, the microbes that cause rotting are a lot like us, in that they need water, nutrients, warmth and time to grow. If we take one or more of these elements away, then microbes cannot grow or spoil the food. McDonald's food generally has less humidity (or water) content, due to the fact that our patties are grilled on a double-sided hotplate, which extracts most of their humidity in the form of vapor; and our buns are toasted, thus losing significant amounts of their humidity, too. In a nutshell, McDonald's food would decay, but it could be in the form of drying rather than rotting, unless the cooked food's humidity is maintained by wrapping the food with cling foil or storing it in a high humidity environment.

“Do you put unhealthy things in your chicken to make it tastier?”
Hello! Let's take our McNuggets as an example. They are made of 100% pure and Halal chicken breast meat with a bit of chicken skin for succulence and flavor. They are dipped in batter and covered with our crispy breading and kept frozen until cooked in 100% vegetable oil. Hope this answers your question!
Asked by Fadlo
“Which fish is used in fillet o fish and is it made in the same oil as chicken in beef or in sep oil?is it suitable for vegetarians?”
Hello, we use high quality wild-caught Alaskan Pollock for our signature Fillet-O-Fish. We try our best to fry our vegetarian tems in separate vats, yet, keep in my mind the probability of cross-contact between food items in a working kitchen. Hope this is helpful!

“what happens to the food which was not purchased at the end of the day”
Hello, Our approach is to minimize waste. At our restaurants, we keep careful track of what we sell at different times of the day, including both the quantity and the type of product being sold. This allows us to minimize waste and maximize freshness by ordering and preparing the right amount of food for the number of customers we serve. We've become very good at anticipating and calculating the right amount of supply for our demand, so we therefore minimize waste. McDonald's food that's passed its holding time is disposed for quality reasons. We hope that this cleared it for you!
Asked by Rimas
“Does your chicken contain antibiotics?”
Hello! Antibiotics are never used by the suppliers of McDonald's in Lebanon as growth promoters. Some antibiotics approved by global health authorities are used to treat diseases, as McDonald's does not accept slaughtering of sick animals. When treatment antibiotics are used, our suppliers and auditing processes ensure that treated chicken go through the needed withdrawal period before they are slaughtered. This means the meat that goes into our chicken products is 100% antibiotics free. Hope this is helpful and thanks for stopping by!
