-
All the beef is freshly butchered meat. Nothing is added to the burger patty. When the beef patty is made from the beef it is "quick frozen" to lock in the quality of the fresh beef. This is the same principle as that of quick freezing vegetables to maintain their quality.

-
McDonald's strawberry milkshake contains 1.6 per cent real strawberry juice concentrate and therefore may not be suitable for people with a strawberry allergy. A full list of ingredients can be found on our website www.mcdonalds.co.uk under the 'eat smart' section. The Banana Milkshake should still be available at most, if not all, McDonald's UK restaurants.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 68. I was wondering if there was any way I could get a complete ingredient list of all your items. I am not wanting to know if there is mayonaize or lettuce on the sandwich, I was wondering what ingredients are in the mayonaize and rolls and in the chicken batter, ect. I think something like this would be most helpful for quite a few people and that way they can look thru the ingredients list on their own and find out what they can and cannot eat. Thank you.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 73. I had a McDonald meal a few weeks ago after going out and drinking 15 pints of Fosters Lager. I had 2 Big Macs, 9 Chicken McNuggets, 3 Quarter Pounders and 4 Large Fries. The following morning I was very ill. I vomitted several times. Could my illness have been caused by some rogue ingrediant in one of the burgers? Thanks. Carl

-
We are not sure what you mean by an "anti gag" ingredient but perhaps you could explain. What McDonald's can say is that it takes care to create food that tastes good and uses good quality ingredients.

Is there any ingredient in your food that may have conflicted with my body somehow to cause this, such as an alergic reaction? I don't want to have to stop eating at McDonalds :(
-
There are no ingredients in McDonald's food that would make a well person feel ill; they are exactly the same as those used in products you might buy in your local supermarket and cook at home. If your problem persists, McDonald's recommends speaking to your GP. (June 2007)
