Our Food Your Questions

    Asked by Jad

    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.

    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!

    Asked by Osama

    Do you use the same oil for weeks?

    When frying our products, we make sure we use the best quality of less saturated fat canola and soft seed oil. With its reliable measurement technology, we use a new machine called testo, which is a digital cooking oil tester, that ensures quality assurance for our deep fryer. It measures the Total Polar Material in the oil used. So when the TPM reaches the limit value, we know the oil needs to be changed. We hope this answer was clear enough.

    Asked by Miryam

    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!
