Quality Scout profiles
Mhairi Geddes
From Keith, near Aberdeen, full-time mum of three.
What made you want to be a Quality Scout?
I’d like to know whether my somewhat cynical husband is right: he says that McDonald’s food is full of additives and E numbers… so is it true? If people are becoming more aware of what’s on their plates, is McDonald’s taking notice of that?
What are you hoping to find out?
We talk about what really goes into McDonald’s hamburgers, but where does their beef actually come from? I’ve got a strong interest in food generally, I like to know what I’m eating, and I like a challenge.
Anything else you'd like to add?
As a mum, I want to make sure my family is healthy and that includes, of course, the food they eat. I like to know where my food’s come from – can McDonald’s give me that information? With my husband being in the farming industry, I’m aware of how important it is to try to shop locally and to support British produce.
