All restaurant staff receive hygiene training when they start work. This training, plus awareness of the importance of hygiene, continues throughout their employment with McDonald's. Managers and staff are extremely vigilant when food is being prepared. In line with UK food industry standards, McDonald's restaurant staff wear special gloves when handling raw meat and uncooked eggs. However they are not required to wear gloves for other food preparation. This is complemented by a strict system of regular hand washing in all restaurants to make sure that all the food produced is safe.

-
Lots of restaurants or places where food is prepared omit cooking smells when you walk past. Some people regard these smells as pleasant whereas others find them to be unpleasant. McDonald’s has a system of filters in place to reduce this occurring but if you think that this is a particular issue with a specific restaurant please talk to that restaurant manager about this.

-
No. Due to the stringent procedures McDonald’s have in place, this is not the case. Only whole cuts of forequarter and flank beef cuts are used which are bought from farms accredited by nationally recognised Farm Assurance schemes. The entire supply chain is also closely monitored to ensure the highest standards of animal welfare, safety and quality. There are stringent checks in place at every point of the supply chain, including the abattoirs to ensure that the cuts supplied to the hamburger patty producer are safe and that the patty producer operates to regularly audited high standards. In addition, there are also daily checks in place in restaurants to ensure these procedures are strictly followed.
