Welcome to Make Up Your Own Mind. The site has been set up for you to find out anything you would like to know about McDonald’s food, business, people and practices.

Since 2006, Quality Scouts (independent members of the public) have been going behind the scenes at McDonald’s and its suppliers, to find out for themselves what really goes into McDonald’s food and report back on this site. In 2010, these visits will continue to delve into other aspects of McDonald’s business, reflecting the broad interests of over half a million visitors to the site so far - and counting. You’ll also be able to find out more about the latest news from (and written about) McDonald’s in our News and In the Media sections.

Since launch, we’ve received 21,269 questions about McDonald’s and we hope to get many more throughout 2010. You can see what other people have already asked us in the Your Questions section.

Please come back again or sign up here to keep in touch with what else we have planned for the year.
